Disclosure: I have posted this question on the forums too.
I am still attempting to port Quartus II design software to FreeBSD. I am
making progress, with the help of this list and others.
My latest problem is strange. I've followed all the shell script wrappers to
find the actual installation binary that is run. It takes an option that
lets the user specify where to install (-t<location>).
When I run it thus:
# altera_installer_cmd --source=/usr/ports/cad/quartus_ii/work
--install=quartus_free -w -t /home/benjamin/some_dir --no_space_check
It installs to some_dir in my home directory, as expected. If I change the
install path to /usr/local however:
# altera_installer_cmd --source=/usr/ports/cad/quartus_ii/work
--install=quartus_free -w -t /usr/local/quartus --no_space_check
(the only difference between the two commands is the "-t<location>" bit)
It somehow installs to /compat/linux/usr/local/quartus rather than
/usr/local/quartus! It is almost as if there is a magic "symlink"
redirecting certain folders, but it doesn't redirect when I specify my home
directory.
What could be going on here?
This is being caused by the linux emulation where it adds the prefix
'/compat/linux' to the specified path.

If you create the directory '/usr/local/quartus' first, will it
install to this location?
Scot
I created the directory /usr/local/quartus, but it still installed to
the directory under /compat/linux.
So there is no easy way to turn this behavior off?
