[FEATURE] Custom VHDL libs location

[maxime-lr]

It would be great to have an environment variable or an executable option to specify where the VHDL libraries are located.

Is this a feature request for the language server (i.e., vhdl_ls executable) or the language fronted (i.e., vhdl_lang executable)? For the latter, such an option already exists with the --libraries /path/to/vhdl_libraries.

[maxime-lr]

It is a feature for the language server. And then, it could be a setting in rush_hdl_vscode.

You mean without an external file ?
Because vhdl-ls already accept an environment variable for the path of a file defining libs paths

I was talking about VHDL libraries (like ieee).
I am not sure it is related to my feature request (correct me if I'm wrong 🙌)

Yeah I understand that you want to define the path of your libraries, but this can be done with a configuration toml file so for example if you use a library called mylib with all its vhd file for that library under C:\mylib
To use your library you would put that into your file

library mylib;

Then make it work you would need to create a toml file with a content like that

[libraries]
mylib.files = [
    'C:\mylib\*.vhd',
]

Where to put this TOML file is described by this part

Yes, that is what I do already.
In this issue I was talking about standard libraries like (std and ieee). They are stored in some predefined directories and to my knowledge, it is not possible to define a generic path.
Maybe I'm wrong ;)
