ghdl/ghdl_mcode:error: importation has failed due to compilation error

[UdayZorawarSingh]

When I try to do make simulate in the development branch, I receive following error:

src/vhdl/colourram.vhdl:28:35:error: primary expression expected

When I had a look at the line number and column number, it pointed towards the closing parenthesis as shown in the image below

When I looked at the template file for src/vhdl/colourram.vhdl which is present at location src/tools/makerom/colourram_template.vhdl, I found that value of ROMDATA is not present in the generated file

How could this be resolved? I am using Ubuntu 18.04.5.

I can get it to compile by removing the assignment completely, i.e. putting ram : ram_t; there instead. This seems to work as later on in the vhdl the ram variable gets assigned to so it doesn't have to be assigned at first seemingly.

The problem here is that exomizer has not been installed, and so when it tries to make the COLOURRAM.BIN file to then autogenerate colourram.vhdl, it all fails. It would be great to have exomizer also setup as a git sub-module and a rule that checks for its existence, so that this problem can be totally avoided.

Thank you Paul. It's working now.
