you are using fixed point, not floating. There is no need to instantiate floating point megafunctions.

But the megawizard creates the files and component declarations you need. You just connect it up with a port map

ie. 


my_inst : some_entity
port map (
  clk     => clk,
  input1 => signal1,
  input2 => signal2
  ....etc
);
