Compiling VHLD file in quartus

I have been learning about quartus using

https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/from-vhdl-code-to-real-hardware-designing-a-finite-state-machine/.

 

There's a VHDL file that I compiled in quartus for the EPM240 FPGA see attached. For a while it compiled correctly, eventually I got all kinds of error messages.

 

I compiled as Verilog HDL and VHDL, for a while it was fine as Verilog HDL, but eventually wouldn't compile. 

 

Any thoughts?

Hi,
forgot to tell the error messages.

The original VHDL file compiles without problems in Quartus 13.1. It should be however noted, that the default "one-hot" state encoding leads to a very inefficient counter implementation in 27 logic elements. Specifying sequential encoding, e.g. using synthesis attribute reduces resource utilization to 6 LE.

The file had been compiled in VHDL without any problem as mentioned.
