In the Create a New Library dialog
box select Create: a new library
and a logical mapping to it. Make
sure Library: indicates work, then
select OK. This creates a
subdirectory named work - your
design library - within the current
directory. This subdirectory
contains a special file named _info.
(Do not create these using UNIX or
Windows commands—always use
the Library menu or the vlib
command from either the
ModelSim or UNIX/DOS prompt.)
(PROMPT: vlib work
vmap work work)
4 Compile the file counter.vhd into the new library by selecting the Compile button on
the toolbar:
(PROMPT: vcom counter.vhd)
This opens the Compile HDL Source Files dialog box. (You won’t see this dialog
box if you invoke vcom from the command line.)
