Honored ContributorError while compiling eda simulation library
Hi, i'm tryng to compile Quartus library for active-hdl, VHDL language but i receive this errors:

Altera_ForumHi,
Just wonder in which simulator the above errors are shown? Have you got a chance to try with Modelsim Altera?- Altera_Forum
Do you have -sv2k5 on your vlog command, as that file is SystemVerilog.

Actually, I pulled up a Riviera Pro simulation I'm running(in Q15.0) and it's added this way:
vlog $USER_DEFINED_COMPILE_OPTIONS "$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/eda/sim_lib/altera_lnsim.sv" -work altera_lnsim So maybe as the message says of adding -v2k5. Seems strange. Just a guess. And to totally confuse you, I did a search on altera_lnsim.v, and in a 13.1 version of the simulation section of the Quartus handbook, I found: VCS and VCS MX Guidelines The following guidelines apply to simulating Quartus II designs in the VCS or VCS MX software: ■ Do not specify the -v option for altera_lnsim.sv because it defines a systemverilog package. ■ Add -verilog and +verilog2001ext+.v options to make sure all .v files are compiled as verilog 2001 files, and all other files are compiled as systemverilog I know this is for a different simulator, but thought I'd mention it. - Altera_Forum
I received this error in the Quartus tool "Compiling EDA simulation Libraries" in the Tool menu. I used the gui to compile the library so i can't place or edit compilation command.
