Description
Hi,
I am running ibex riscv-dv with questasim and the makefile is not going through. (here)
Synopsys officially doesn't support VCS on Ubuntu.
How can I use VCS on my Ubuntu machine as I see options for VCS lised in the codebase and discussions around them.
Thank you
My Environment

Operating system:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Research direction
Start by reading issue #2095 and the Ibex simulation and riscv-dv documentation or entry points that mention VCS and QuestaSim. Check the stated VCS U-2023.03 and Ubuntu 20.04 environment against the supported setup, then document whether a reproducible VCS-on-Ubuntu workflow exists or clearly record the limitation.
