The original repository is now located on my own git-server at [https://git.goodcleanfun.de/tmeissner/libvhdl](https://git.goodcleanfun.de/tmeissner/libvhdl)
It is mirrored to github with every push, so both should be in sync.

[https://github.com/tgingold/ghdl/](https://github.com/tgingold/ghdl/). Your GHDL version should not be too old, because libvhdl needs VHDL-2008 support. So, it's best to get the latest stable release or build from latest sources.

libvhdl uses the OSVVM library to generate random data for the unit tests. We use version OSVVM version 2014.01. You can find it under the OSVVM folder in the test/
directory. If you use another simulator with full OSVVM support, you can download newer versions of the library
from [http://osvvm.org](http://osvvm.org).
libvhdl uses the OSVVM library to generate random data for the unit tests. It is shipped with libvhdl as git submodule. You have to use the `--recursive` option when clone
the libvhdl Repository to get it: `git clone --recursive https://git.goodcleanfun.de/tmeissner/libvhdl`
Another useful tool is GTKWave, install it if you want to use the waveform files generated by some of the tests.
