ModelSim 10.4 / Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[neck75]

Hi,

I download the student version of Modelsin ( Mentor Graphic ), and run the .exe with wine, instalation was ok, the licence was ok too, the use of ModelSim programming and compile is well, but the only problem is the simulate.
If I started simulate I will see just one second "it is not suported...." and Modeslin imediately close ??

If you have some ideas to help me..

Thanks

What version of Wine are you using to test this application?
If it's not ~ 3.0(ish) - then I'd recommend upgrading to the latest WineHQ packages.
See: WineHQ Wiki: Ubuntu: Installing WineHQ packages.
NB: I see Ubuntu users' are still waiting on the official Wine 3.0 / 3.1 packages to be built...

Thank's Bob,

I dont remenber the version, may be the 3.0 I will see thurday. I ask on Google Group of Modelsim what they think about that, at this time no answer.

Thank's Bob,

I don't remember the version, may be the 3.0 I will see Thursday. I ask on Google Group of Modelsim what they think about that, at this time no answer.

To troubleshoot the issue the best way is to launch the application from the terminal and capture the stdout+stderr terminal output from Wine.
See: WineHQ FAQ: 10.1.1 How can I get a debugging log (a.k.a. terminal output)?
Do follow the link to the Wine User's guide - which is highly instructive!

Your program may work better in a 32-bit WINEPREFIX, set to Windows XP compatibility - since Wine has a more complete implementation of the pre-Vista Windows API.
See: WineHQ FAQ: 6.5.3 How do I create a 32 bit wineprefix on a 64 bit system?

E.g.

Code: Select all

export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32
WINEARCH=win32 wineboot -u
winetricks winxp

Remember to set the WINEPREFIX env variable - in each new terminal session you start and double check with:

Code: Select all

env | grep WINEPREFIX

Otherwise you will go back to the hard-coded default WINEPREFIX of:

Code: Select all

~/.wine

Some one answer me about ModelSim simulate, I certainely make a mistake, when I manipulate Modelsim simulation, wine work very well I think.

Hi bob,
I re test Modelsim, it's not a mistake, it's a real problem with wine, so I try to understand what I have to do with a terminal.

[neck75]

I see on wine site that 3.1 is availlable, do you think it's the best way first to upgrade ? I have to remove the 3.0 before.

[neck75]

I idenfy the problem, it's about Modelsim not wine, and also the same with a windows 7.
So I ask for help to Mentor graphic.
