I just started using textwrangler. I typed in my code in VHDL. Now, how do I compile it? Whenever I run it, I get a shebang error.
Got a tip for us?

macOS How to compile VHDL code?

What is your target device? Do you have a development kit with a programmer and all the software tools? Are you using a simulator package instead?
----------
BTW, a "shebang" error means your script that you're trying to execute is lacking a line like this at the top of the file:
#!/usr/bin/perl
If you were writing in perl, and had a perl interpreter, that's how you'd direct your system to its location to execute your script. However, you're not writing a simple script here. VHDL is a hardware markup that define electrical connections and behavior, usually within an FPGA. You need much more than a text editor to make it work.

MOD NOTE: moved to Mac Programming, as there are more people here that could possibly help the OP.

I just started writing in VHDL. I was trying to write a code for a simple 8 bit comparator. Is there any way to correct the error?
Are there any other software to write and compile VHDL on Mac?
As dukeblue219 asked:
What is your target?
I've only worked in VHDL with a specific hardware target (CPLD or FPGA) in mind and used the company's simulators, but I know there are some FOSS type simulators.
