Quartus II Linux Version
Altera claims only to support Redhat/Suse but I think we can fool it. There were two major problems encountered:
- The installer couldn't communicate with the Quartus web site
- This was solved by setting up a stupid proxy relayer. I don't know why it was necessary and I don't know why it worked. The relay program is here:
http://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/~mhasse/mce/quartus_linux/prox.py
- The installer couldn't find a few commands that typically exist on Fedora systems, notably "arch" and "rpm". Fake versions of these, suitable for tricking the Quartus installer, can be found here (put them in /usr/bin and make them executable):
http://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/~mhasse/mce/quartus_linux/rpm http://e-mode.phas.ubc.ca/~mhasse/mce/quartus_linux/arch
Outstanding problem: Quartus does not want to recgonize the license file.
