| + | <code> | ||
| + | cd /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase | ||
| + | chmod u+w vco | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Open the vco with | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | vi vco | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | and find the following section | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | else | ||
| + | case $utype in | ||
| + | 2.4.[7-9]*) vco="linux" ;; | ||
| + | 2.4.[1-9][0-9]*) vco="linux" ;; | ||

| + | 3.[0-9]*) vco="linux" ;; | ||
| + | *) vco="linux_rh60" ;; | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | And change the "linux_rh60" entry to "linux". | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Install i386 Libraries === | ||
| + | |||
| + | See: [[https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/programmable/support/support-resources/knowledge-base/tools/2019/why-does-my-quartus-prime-18-1-fail-to-run-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts-.html?wapkw=why+does+my+quartus+prime+18.1+fail+to+run+on+ubuntu+18.04+lts%3f&language=en_US|missing i386 libraries]] on the Intel site. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sudo apt install libxext6:i386 libxft2:i386 libncurses5:i386 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Fix the libfreetype problem === | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you see | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | caeuser@ADLab-Tools-OS:~$ vsim | ||
| + | Error in startup script: | ||
| + | Initialization problem, exiting. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Initialization problem, exiting. | ||
| + | |||
| + | while executing | ||
| + | "InitializeINIFile quietly" | ||
| + | invoked from within | ||
| + | "ncFyP12 -+" | ||
| + | (file "/mtitcl/vsim/vsim" line 1) | ||
| + | ** Fatal: Read failure in vlm process (0,0) | ||
| + | caeuser@ADLab-Tools-OS:~$ | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | then you have to install an old version of libfreetype. Make sure that you have enable the deb-src packages in the /etc/apt/sources.list file to make the build dependencies work. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 | ||
| + | sudo apt-get build-dep -a i386 libfreetype6 | ||
| + | wget https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.8.1.tar.gz | ||
| + | tar -xvzf freetype-2.8.1.tar.gz | ||
| + | cd freetype-2.8.1 | ||
| + | ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --without-png "CFLAGS=-m32" "CXXFLAGS=-m32" "LDFLAGS=-m32" | ||
| + | make -j8 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now copy the libfreetype library files to the modelsim directory | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | mkdir /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32 | ||
| + | cp objs/.libs/libfreetype.so* /opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32/ | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now you have to change modelsim vco file and find the location: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | dir=`dirname "$arg0"` | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | After that line add | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/altera/18.1/modelsim_ase/lib32 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
