Problems using command-line interface

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

I am fairly new to using Quartus. (using version 8.0) I have a project that Successfully compiles in the GUI. However, when I try to use quartus_map I get the following errors:    --- Quote Start ---  $ quartus_map fec_dsp_interface_pkg_top --source fec_dsp_interface_pkg_top.qpf --family=CYCLONEIII  Info: ******************************************************************* Info: Running Quartus II Analysis & Synthesis  Info: Version 8.0 Build 231 07/10/2008 Service Pack 1 SJ Full Version  Info: Copyright (C) 1991-2008 Altera Corporation.

Why are you using all those command line arguments? The qsf file (which the qpf points at) has all the settings that you need, just run  

 quartus_map <projectfile.qpf>  in your script, (minus the <>)

Thank you, this seems to fix that. I was going verbatim from the Altera Command-Line Scripting documentation.
