Create a user library in Quartus 6.1

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

 For my project in vhdl, I would like to create a compiling library file, for used it without having vhd sources files. But i don't know how to do that. :(  So i search a tutorial on this subject.  If anybody have informations about this, i'll be very grateful.  Thank you in advance.  JB

I assume you want something similar to Modelsim's ability to precompile HDL into libraries. Alas, that feature isn't available in Quartus II.

Yes, i want to provide a compiling library file, for not given sources files. Like a megacore function, or a IP core. 

If i can't do that with quartus, what kind of tool can i used ?  Thank.  JB

Hello, 

 IP cores and some Megafunction uses encrypted source files rather than precompiled libraries. You can't read them but the Quartus compiler can. Probably Altera provides a tool to encrypt source files exclusively to IP development partners.   In other words there is no way to prevent disclosure of your HDL sources except license agreements with your customer.  Regards,  Frank
