How do I get nc-sim to recongnize a .sv file?

I have a verilog simulation running. I have added a .sv file to the sim and I get an error, file type not recognized. It point to the the file added and does not recognized. 

Is there  a switch to set to allow nc-sim to recognize the file type?

    Hi Jackie,

     Sounds like you are using either "ncverilog" or "ncvlog" to do the compile.

    If you are using "ncvlog" you should add -sv to your command line to invoke the systemverilog parser.

    if you are using "ncverilog" command, you can simpy replace the "ncverilog" command with "irun", in which case you will not need to include the -sv switch.  Irun will automatically choose the correct parser to use based on the file extension.

     Best regards,

    Mickey
