[MODELSIM_ASE] Install on recent Linux (Fedora 21)

[Altera_Forum]

Hi,

I would like to use free modelsim on my Fedora 21 but when I launch ModelSim I get this echo on terminal :

Code:

Error in startup script:

Initialization problem, exiting.

Initialization problem, exiting.

while executing

(procedure "PropertiesInit" line 3)

"ncFyP12 -+"

(file "/opt/altera/modelsim_ase/linux/../tcl/vsim/vsim" line 1)

** Fatal: Read failure in vlm process (0,0)

A man explain the methot do install modelsim on recent linux

He said ModelSim use only an old freetype. The methon consist to make an old freetype from source code

CONFIG OF MY PC :

I use Fedora 21 64bits.

I installed complet gcc tool chain with [yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"]

I have gcc (GCC) 4.9.2 20141101 (Red Hat 4.9.2-1)

Gcc work fine with simple test program.

MY WORK TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM :

I download old freetype source code : http://sourceforge.net/projects/free...etype2/2.4.12/

I untar the archive and run 'autogen.sh'

I use the config script like this : ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu "CFLAGS=-m32" "CXXFLAGS=-m32" "LDFLAGS=-m32"

And I get error on terminal :

Code:

reeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

platform unix

compiler cc

configuration directory ./builds/unix

configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file

`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library,

or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).

cd builds/unix; /bin/sh ./configure '--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu' 'CFLAGS=-m32' 'CXXFLAGS=-m32' 'LDFLAGS=-m32'

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking for gcc... gcc

checking whether the C compiler works... no

configure: error: in `/home/thierry/Documents/freetype-2.4.12/builds/unix':

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

See `config.log' for more details

See attached for the log file

QUESTION :

1] What is a method to install modelsim_ase on Fedora 21 ?

2] Where can I get modelsim_ase for recent Linux ?

Best regards
