Quartus does not support textio during synthesis whilst Xilinx does. I opened an enhancement request for this about 8 years ago, but still no Textio.

You can get quartus to read in text files using TCL and output a VHDL package that contains the version number.

Thank you for your answer. I will try to do what you said but I need to do it automatically, so I will try to do a script that firstly generates the VHDL pakage and then compiles and generates all the quartus Project. I hope it is posible.
