-mcode Backend on GNU/Linux with GCC/GNAT
-########################################
-
-On Linux, 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``. You may need super user privileges (``sudo ...``).
-
-
-.. rubric:: Example:
-
-.. code-block:: Bash
-
-   $ cd <ghdl>
-   $ mkdir build
-   $ cd build
-   $ ../configure --prefix=PREFIX
-   $ make
-   $ make install

-mcode Backend

-The mcode backend is available for all supported platforms and is also the
-simplest procedure, because it requires the fewest dependencies and configuration
-options.
