Error: (vcom-11) while running RTL simulation in Modelsim INTEL FPGA STARTER EDITION

Hi, I have been working on MAX10M50 Development board. I am trying to write code for SPI with CS. I ahve created source and sim files. All complie correctly in quartus prime software. While running RTL simulation in modelsim it shows following error.

# -- Compiling architecture TB of SPI_16bit_CS_TB
# ** Error: (vcom-11) Could not find work.spi_16bit_cs.

 I am attaching 3 vhdl code files. 

Please tell me how to overcome this error.

Without even looking at your code, you have a space in your path ("VHDL Codes").  Modelsim doesn't like spaces in paths.  Try removing the space.

Also, when you instantiate something, you should not have "work." in front of it.  Remove that on line 55 of the testbench.

Hi,

I try to compile those files attached directly in modelsim starter edition and get library not found error in SPI_16bit_CS.vhd

** Error: .../SPI_16bit_CS.vhd(36): (vcom-1598) Library "altera_syn_attributes" not found.

Which further triggers the error in SPI_16bit_CS_TB.vhd compilation

** Error: (vcom-11) Could not find work.spi_16bit_cs.

The simulation can run properly after commenting out the library. Make sure the proper library is existing.
