Why does qsys-generate fail with an error message “Can’t locate Wild.pm"?

Description

Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions before 21.3, the qsys-generate stage might fail with an error message “Can’t locate Wild.pm”.

This is caused by the environment variable PERL5OPT being set to “-MWild” (PERL5OPT=-MWild).

 

Resolution

The probem has been fixed in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3.

To work around this problem with versions before 21.3, perform the following steps:

1.          Unset the Environment Variable PERL5OPT.

              a.          In Linux, use command “unset PERL5OPT”.

              b.          In Windows, remove PERL5OPT from System Properties > Environment Variables.

2.          Recompile the hardware design.
