Hello all,

I'm trying to get my lab 3 package and component declaration to work in
order to dreate my clock divider but when I try to compile the components
entity description, I get the following error:

Unsupported feature error: generic not specified and has no default value.

My component declaration looks like this:

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.std_logic_arith.all;

package timeraccess is
 component fefifofum
  generic (
   x : unsigned;
   y : integer);
  port (
   w : in bit;
   z : out bit);
end component;
end timeraccess;

and compiles fine, and my entity description looks like this:

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.std_logic_arith.all;
use work.timeraccess.all;

entity fefifofum is
  generic (
   x : unsigned;
   y : integer);    <------
  port (
   w : in bit;
  z : out bit);
end fefifofum;

architecture...

and the error corresponds to the line with the arrow beside it.  Is this
format correct and if so, why else could it not be working?

TIA!
