Synopsys VCS: Compilation Error when running example from UVM1.0 package

[Jay]

Hello All,

The VCS simulator version I am using is v2011.03.mx

I am new to UVM. So, trying to run the simple examples in UVM package. These are the steps performed.

1. I have downloaded the "uvm-1.0p1" package from the website: http://www.accellera.org/activities/vip/

and copied to my folder.

2. My aim is to run the "hello_world" example provided in this package.

3.By default the vcs version I use is 2009.06 and hence I add this to <My_Path>/uvm-1.0p1/examples/Makefile.vcs:

"--v v2011.03.mx" to the vcs command line.

3. Then I go to the folder

<My_Path>/uvm-1.0p1/examples/simple/hello_world and type the command:

make -f Makefile.vcs.

I get compilation error in the file:../../../src/macros/uvm_object_defines.svh,line 692. The entire error message is pasted below.

****************

make -f Makefile.vcs

Am I missing something?

Please help me in running the example and compiling any other UVM code using VCS?

Thanks in advance for your help.

There was some issues while I copied the files from windows to linux server and hence had to use the "dos2unix" command to the UVM files. This did the work and now I am able to compile and run the example. Thanks for your attention.

This is due to the difference between the newline symbol in windows and Linux,windows using \r\n, but linux using \n
