Error loading .a files in questasim

Question

I have a problem when i try to load the .a files i got provided in a Questasim project. I tried to do it when invoking vlog but I don't see any intuitive option when to do so.

I found that I could use -sv_lib for .so files in vsim but I don't know when I should load .a should this be with the -ccflags when invoking vlog?

Should the .so and .a file be loaded in vopt or vsim? Tried to add it to -ccflags -l foo.a but didn't seem like it did much.

You need to build a shared object from your .a file first. Look at the section "Compiling and Linking C Applications for Interfaces" in the QuestaSim User Manual.
