Modelsim PE Student Edition under Wine
Hi all,
I've been trying to run Modelsim (free student edition is windows only) under Wine with no success. The program installs with no errors but does not start. The problem is that some googling shows that it should be trivially installable/usable under Wine and it actually does work as expected under Xubuntu 14.04 (install, run, done).
When I run the program via GUI, nothing seems to happen but the desktop GUI starts acting funny -- mostly the cursor disappearing under dialogs and windows.
When running from the terminal, I get the following:
fixme:font:freetype_SelectFont Untranslated charset 255
Reading C:/Modeltech_pe_edu_10.3c/tcl/vsim/pref.tcl
fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}What's the best way to figure out what's happening? How can I check what the differences are in Ubuntu vs. Arch wine?
I'm using MATE with wine, wine-mono, and wine_gecko from default repos.
Thanks!

Re: Modelsim PE Student Edition under Wine
I have the same problem.
wine and modelsim works fine on ubuntu. On arch linux it does't start.
I've installed wine, wine_gecko and wine-mono.

Re: Modelsim PE Student Edition under Wine
The free linux version of modelsim is available in the AUR
It comes with quartus web

It is not the same software.

Re: Modelsim PE Student Edition under Wine
Are you sure? It comes with quartus web and "modelsim" by Altera (the VHDL simulator).
How many VHDL sims called modelsim can there be? Sorry for the confusion.

I'm talking about modelsim by Mentor Graphics.

Thx for answer. I know that there are xilinx and altera vhdl simulators but I need model sim by mentor graphics.
I really don't know what's the difference between ubuntu wine configuration and arch one.
For now, only due this fact I must prefer ubuntu instead arch
