.. _BUILD:mcode:Windows-MinGW-GNAT:

mcode Backend on Windows with GCC/GNAT (MinGW)
##############################################

On Windows with MinGW, GHDL is configured by ``configure`` and built by ``make``.

* First, GHDL needs to be configured. It is common to specify a ``PREFIX``
  (installation directory like ``/usr/local`` or ``/opt/ghdl``). Without any
  other option, ``configure`` selects `mcode` as the backend.

* Next, ``make`` starts the compilation process.

* Finally, ``make install`` installs GHDL into the installation directory
  specified by ``PREFIX``.

.. rubric:: Example:

.. code-block:: Bash

   $ cd <ghdl>
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build
   $ ../configure --prefix=PREFIX
   $ make
   $ make install
