## Compile Scripts for Vendor VHDL Libraries
-Vendors like Altera and Xilinx have there own simulation libraries, especially for primitives and hard macros. These libraries can not be shipped with GHDL, but we offer prepared compile scripts to pre-compile a vendor library, if the vendor tool is present on the computer.

### Compiling on Linux
-*First I should translate the scripts before writing the docu...*
+ - **Step 1 - Configure the scripts**
+ Please open the `config.sh` file and set the dictionary entries for the installed
+ vendor tools to the appropriate directory to your tool's installation folder.
+
+ `config.sh`:
+ ```Bash
+ declare -A InstallationDirectory
+ InstallationDirectory[AlteraQuartusII]="/opt/Altera/15.0"
+ InstallationDirectory[XilinxISE]="/opt/Xilinx/14.7"
+ InstallationDirectory[XilinxVivado]="/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2015.2"
+ InstallationDirectory[OSVVM]="/home/<user>/git/GitHub/osvvm"
+ InstallationDirectory[VUnit]="/home/<user>/git/GitHub/vunit"
+ ```
+
+ - **Step 2 - Browse to your simulation working directory**
+ ```Bash
+ $ cd <MySimulationFolder>
+ ```
+
+ - **Step 3 - Start the compilation script(s)**
+ ```Bash
+ $ <GHDL>\libraries\vendors\compile-altera.sh --all
+ $ <GHDL>\libraries\vendors\compile-xilinx-ise.sh --all
+ $ <GHDL>\libraries\vendors\compile-xilinx-vivado.sh --all
+ $ <GHDL>\libraries\vendors\compile-osvvm.sh --all
+ $ <GHDL>\libraries\vendors\compile-vunit.sh --all
+ ```
+
+ - **Step 4 - Viewing the result**
+ This creates vendor directories in your current working directory and compiles the vendor files into them.
+
+ ```Bash
+ $ ls -ahl
+ ...
+ drwxr-xr-x 2 <user> <group> 56K Nov 30 17:41 altera
+ drwxr-xr-x 2 <user> <group> 56K Nov 30 17:48 osvvm
