adding a ieee.fixed_pkg to modelsim 6.6

[DNA2683]

hi

im new in VHDL world..
im treing to use ieee.fixed_pkg
im working on my home PC with modelsim 6.6 ..until now I run my code on modlsim version 10.1 and everything worked (not on my computer these was a university PC)


When I try to compile my code on my PC with modelsim 6.6 it shows a message that it can not find the ieee.fixed_pkg

(vcom-1195) Cannot find expanded name "ieee.fixed_pkg".

how can i add this package it not include in modelsim 6.6?

any reason you're using 6.6? 10+ comes with the fixed_pkg already included in the ieee library, and 6.6 should do to, but it may be in the ieee_proposed library.

i try to download the 10+ ver but i nedd a license ..there is a modelsim 10+ for free?

altera modelsim starter edition is free and is v10.0c iirc

Nope, for that you'll need a licence with any version.

With ~3 minutes of google searching...

This appears to be the VASG IEEE group that is handling the next version of the standard. I found this page via the older obsoleted pages. You can download the 2008 packages from that site and then compile it into a library you'll add to the default modelsim.ini or in your modelsim project file (.mpf).
