+.. _BUILD:mcode:GNULinux-GNAT:
+
+GNU/Linux with GCC/GNAT
+#######################
+
+On Linux, GHDL is configured by ``configure`` and build by ``make``.
+
+* First, GHDL needs to be configured. It is common to specify a PREFIX
+ (installation directory like ``/usr/local`` or ``/opt/ghdl``). Without any
+ other option, ``configure`` select `mcode` as backend.
+
+* Next, ``make`` starts the compilation process.
+
+* Finally, ``make install`` installs GHDL into the installation directory
+ specified by PREFIX. You may need super user privileges (``sudo ...``).
+
+.. rubric:: Example:
+
+.. code-block:: Bash
+
+ cd <ghdl>
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ ../configure --prefix=PREFIX
+ make
+ sudo make install
