Generate secureip library for Questasim

[jvincent12]

I am using ISE 14.7, trying to generate the secureip library for Questasim.  When I run compxlib with this command,

compxlib -s questa -l vhdl -p C:\Apps\questasim107b\nt64\ -w -lib unisim  

It doesn't create the library and I get many errors in the compxlib.log file like this:

BEGIN_COMPILATION_MESSAGES(questasim:vhdl:unisim)

** Warning: (vcom-159) Mode option -32 is not supported in this context and will be ignored.

** Error (suppressible): (vcom-12110) All optimizations are disabled because the -novopt option is in effect. This will cause your simulation to run very slowly. If you are using this switch to preserve visibility for Debug or PLI features, please see the User's Manual section on Preserving Object Visibility with vopt. -novopt option is now deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
Errors: 1, Warnings: 1

I get the same errors when I run "Compile HDL Simulation Libraries" from the Process menu.

What am I missing?

thanks,

John

Could you try to compile the simlib in QuestaSim 10.1b or 10.5?

As Hong pointed out, it's recommended that you run in Questasim 10.1b, which is compatbile with ISE 14.7.

Please refer to ISE Release Notes, pg9, Table 2-2.

The compilation script generated by compxlib has option -novopt in vcom/vlog commands. This option is deprecated in 10.7, and hence the error.

I copied the library that was previously compiled with Questa 10.2. That worked for me. Thank you!
