Configuring quartus options for better AOC compilation flow

Typically I look at the log files first (starting at the bottom of the file and working my way up) and then if I don't spot the issue I open the Quartus project that was generated by the OpenCL compiler. Sometimes I go as far as opening up the Qsys system within the hardware project and making sure that the kernel block is instantiate and connected properly and also making sure the Qsys settings are correct. When you come across cryptic failures go ahead and file a service request with Altera so that the error reporting can be improved or bugs.
