How to compile dpi libraries..?

[swapnilm]

Hello all,

I visited at this site location: http://go.mentor.com/uvm1-0-questa.

From this, do I need to install cygwin in order to run these commands:-

g++ -m32 -fPIC -DQUESTA -g -W -shared

-I/u/release/10.0a/questasim/include

$UVM_HOME/src/dpi/uvm_dpi.cc

-o $UVM_HOME/lib/uvm_dpi.so

Because these commands gave me errors when I tried to use it in transcript portion of questasim10.0b in windows 7 OS platform. Does it mean that I always have to use cygwin to run questasim10.0b ? How do I use cygwin? Can anyone plz put some light on it.

Thanks in advance,

Swapnil
