Before you compile any HDL code, you’ll need a design library to hold the

compilation results. To create a new design library, make this menu selection in the

Main window:

Library > Create a New Library

(PROMPT: vlib work)

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

. 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

Model

Sim

or UNIX/DOS

prompt.)
