    Hi TRoa,

    In order to run commands like vlib and vcom on the Linux shell (wsl enabled) for Modelsim that is installed on Windows machine.

    First, cd to folder bin64 or win32aloem by typing:

    cd /mnt/<your_directory>/quartus/bin64 or

    cd /mnt/<your_directory>/modelsim_ase/win32aloem

    Then, execute the command by typing:

    vlib.exe or vcom.exe (must include the .exe extension)

    Best regards,
    Sheng
