Can you tell me what is wrong in my code please!

For the condition in your "if...generate" construct you have to use a 
generic or a constant, because both are static values when you are doing 
a synthesis or the simulator compiles your sources.

Read: "You are giving me a signal to decide what I should do, but a 
signal is some thing dynamic and I have to do a static (permanent) 
decision."

No. You don't have to replace the type. You can use any type and all the 
types you created yourself.

You have to chance wave_type, you can't use a signal here. You have to 
use a generic (defined in the entity) or in this case simply replace the 
word "signal" with "constant".

You understood him wrong. I'm not sure if it works, but try this:
1
constant wave_type: waveform := sinus;


Or try a generic (but then you will have to define a package with your 
data type and include that in your entity)...
