Description danselmi 2018-05-08 23:12:49 UTC

GHDL tries to link against libgnat-7:
$ ghdl -e uut
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgnat-7
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
ghdl:error: compilation error


$ dnf repoquery --requires ghdl | grep gnat
libgnat-8.so()(64bit)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. install ghdl        (dnf install ghdl)
1. analyse a vhdl file (ghdl -a top.vhd)
2. elaborate entity    (ghdl -e top)
Actual Results:  
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgnat-7
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
ghdl:error: compilation error


Expected Results:  
It should build an executable file.

I've run into this same issue.

Comment 2 Jiri Svoboda 2018-05-14 10:26:00 UTC

Same here.

Comment 3 Victor Schulz 2018-05-15 00:10:32 UTC

Same issue here.

As a temporary workaround, I created the following symlink as root:

cd /usr/lib64
ln -s libgnat-8.so libgnat-7.so

The files are compiling fine after this modification.
