sudo apt-get install ghdl

seems to install everything correctly, but no VHDL2008 libraries. How can I add these?

/usr/bin/ghdl -i   --std=08 --work=work /home/user/Projects/endian_swapper/tests/../hdl/endian_swapper.vhdl && \
/usr/bin/ghdl -m   --std=08 --work=work endian_swapper_vhdl
/usr/bin/ghdl-gcc:warning: library ieee does not exists for v08
/usr/bin/ghdl-gcc:warning: library ieee does not exists for v08

It seems that the package of GHDL that you installed was built with "openieee", instead of including libs from IEEE. This is because of licensing/distribution issues. You need to install a "regular" build of GHDL, or to download and build/install the libraries from https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/tree/master/libraries.

According to https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl/issues/1255#issuecomment-619308878, in the future, open source IEEE libs for VHDL 2008 will be distributed with "openieee" builds of GHDL.

I get into this issue too for GHDL-v0.37. Try install the developer version.

git clone https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl.git
cd ghdl
sudo apt install gnat
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
