Problems compiling with ISE Webpack 8.2.01i

[aijazbaig1]

Hello Freinds.
I am a newcomer to the field of programmable logic devices and I am
currently trying to teach myself VHDL. I hope to learn some VHDL before
the next semester starts.
My sole purpose as of now is not to actually synthesise stuff but just
to simulate the various designs that I may try to create. I am using
the xilinx ISE webpack 8.2 on a windows XP machine.
Below I am trying to implement a design called ones_cnt wherein the
counter just counts the number of ones in a 4 bit array and prints the
result in a binary format.To understand the concept of configuration
declarations I have declared multiple architectures and I am trying to
use the configuration declaration statement to select one the them.

Heres my code. Its a lil big may be but I hope you guys would have a
look.

library IEEE;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_1164.ALL;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_ARITH.ALL;
use IEEE.STD_LOGIC_UNSIGNED.ALL;

---- Uncomment the following library declaration if instantiating
---- any Xilinx primitives in this code.
--library UNISIM;
--use UNISIM.VComponents.all;

entity ones_cnt is
Port ( A : in STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (2 downto 0);
C : out STD_LOGIC_VECTOR (1 downto 0));
end ones_cnt;

architecture Algorithmic of ones_cnt is
begin
process(A)
variable NUM: INTEGER range 0 to 3;
begin
NUM := 0;
for I in 0 to 2 loop
if A(I) = '1' then
NUM := NUM + 1;
end if;
end loop;
case NUM is
when 0 => C <= "00";
when 1 => C <= "01";
when 2 => C <= "10";
when 3 => C <= "11";
end case;
end process;
end Algorithmic;

Heres the log report generated by the compiler:

I do not know where am I going here as my VHDL code seems to be ok but
may be I am missing some tool-specific information here like having
certain libraries included or something like that. I am completely new
to this field and I would sincerely appreciate if someone guides me
through the very difficult phase of getting started which I suppose you
guys might have gone through too in your yesteryears.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Best Regards,
Aijaz.

I'm lost... Where did all that extra code come from? Is it in your main
file? A testbench?

It even says that it understood what you were trying to design

post _just_ your VHDL file. nothing more nothing less, then we;ll see what's
going on.

As far as I remember Xilinx offers some documentation about recommended
coding style. I am afraid to tell you that I recommend to read it.

As a hint in the jungle of VHDL I would recommend to differ between VHDL
code suited for simulation and synthesis.

As awkward as it seems, I would strongly recommend using a clock for
synthesiezable code.

Hope that helps at least a bit.
