OK, I figured it out myself.
For anybody else new to UVM with a clean-room ModeSim installation, this is what I had to do (and yes, I realize this is the Academy Forum, not the ModelSim helpdesk):
- point ModelSim to it’s own built-in UVM library using the LibrarySearchPath variable in the [vlog] section of the modelsim.ini file
- download the appropriate UVM package from Accellera, since the built-in lib seems not to provide the include files required
I could raise the question of
- why ModelSim doesn’t come with the LibrarySearchPath pre-configured
- why ModelSim wouldn’t provide the include files with the built-in library
but what’s the point…
