Using Questa Sim instead of IntelFPGA Starter Edition to build simulations

To whom it may concern: We have a correctly licensed version of Questa Sim V10.7d(64 bit) and are trying to build the dma_afu simulation using Questa Sim instead of the built in Intel FPGA Starte...

So we were able to make this process work; although it is far from ideal at the moment.

  1. Generate simulator project
afu_sim_setup --source hw/rtl/filelist.txt build_sim
cd build_sim
  1. Remove -novopt from Makefile and make
sed -i 's/-novopt//' Makefile     
make
  1. Import Quartus EDA libs
cd work
vsim
Tools->Tcl->ExecuteMacro altera-lib_setup.tcl(macro posted above)
exit Questa Sim
cd ..
  1. try to make simulator
sudo make sim
  1. Add all missing module libraries explicitly to Makefile under the Questa Build Switches section
MENT_VSIM_OPT+= -L altera_mf_ver
  1. make simulator again
sudo make sim

At this point it should work.
