Hi there,
I guess you are trying to compile your design within
the Modelsim GUI (vsim), and then run the simulation.
Maybe it is better to separate it into two stages?
When you compile the verilog design, run vlog with -incr
option ("incremental").
When running vsim, if using VHDL, you can use -lic_vhdl,
and for verilog you can use -lic_vlog.
It might be useful to tell us
- which OS you are using?
- VHDL / verilog/ mix language
- how do you compiling the design? Within Modelsim GUI
or inside C-shell / Windows CMD?
In addition, is a lot of the design files you are compiling
are the xilinx / Altera libraries? If yes, you maybe able
to use library feature instead of compiling everything in
work. And the library will only need to be compiled once.
