Hi,

Unfortunately ModelSim does not have pre-compiled UVM features. You are probably thinking of Questa Sim.

You need to download UVM source files, you can do that here: https://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/uvm

And you'll need to compile the uvm_pkg as well.

vlog -work work -sv -stats=none C:/work/ST/simulation/tb_captur_1.sv <uvm_pkg path>/uvm_pkg.sv +incdir+<UVM source path>/src

Hi,

The Fatal Error occurs when the module for gcc compilation is insufficient. Can you go to the installation folder of ModelSim and confirm if gcc-4.2.1-mingw32vc12 exists? Let me know if it has a different name like vc9.

Once confirmed the correct gcc folder exists, check that the path of the C compiler in correctly set in environment variable path:

Open Environment Variables. To do this, go to Control Panel->System & Security->System->Advanced system settings->Environment Variables...
Under User Variables, go to "Path" and click "Edit"
Check that it has the following path included: <modelsim installation path>\modelsim_ase\win32aloem
If path not included, click "New" and enter the mentioned path.

Please let me know the results.

Regards,
