I have been following Questa Compiling UVM | UVM Cookbook | Siemens Verification Academy to compile the latest UVM release by Accellera and I get an error when compiling the DPI portion:
– Compiling DPI/PLI C++ file …/…/…/…/uvm-core/src/dpi/uvm_dpi.cc
** Error: (vlog-70) Compilation of the C/C++ src files failed with the error messages given below.

Is this looking for a Questa-specific back end implementation for the DPI functions? If so, how should I reference it?
