Quartus 12.0 sp2 on slackware 64bit

Here is the solution using the full package;

untar/zip the package to a temporary directory

e.g /tmp/altera

> tar zxvf 12.0sp2_263_quartus_free_linux.tar.gz

> cd 12.0sp2_263_quartus_free_linux

>./setup

The installer gui will show up.

Install the required parts at the required location e.g. :

/opt/altera12/quartus.

Do not let the tool remove temporary files.

go to

cd linux_installer/quartus_free_64bit

Type the full pathname of the directory where you want to

install the Quartus II software (64-bit) 12.0sp2 software when asked for.

The installer will report

"An installation of Quartus II software (64-bit) already exists in

'/opt/altera12/quartus"

"Do you want to remove it before installing Quartus II software

(64-bit) 12.0sp2? (y/n):"

Answer : No

It will install the 64-bit parts of quartus now, (with some warnings)

When this has finished the following directory can be removed

altera_install

This work is not mine and found this on a swedish website.

The instrcutions work both for Ubuntu and Slackware 14.0 (tried them both myself)

grtz
