Modelsim Intel Starter Edition

Hi,

I'm using Modelsim with Arch quite a long time (sometimes not that easy wink ). But there is one particular issue which is more and more annoying, since the use of encrypted ventor libraries is increasing: it does not work. Modelsim cannot handle encrypted sources and exits with code 11 ("malformed source code"). The strange is, on Ubuntu Bionic and Centos 7 (both used via docker), the same Modelsim installation is working. I tried the Arch docker image too, but the same as without, it does not work.

Has anybody an idea, which different between Centos/Ubuntu Bionic to Arch could lead to this?

thx

Re: Modelsim Intel Starter Edition

Welcome to the arch linux forums bundi.  Have you tried stracing (license allowing) what happens just before it exits?  Does upstream have a user support mechanism you could use?

Re: Modelsim Intel Starter Edition

I tried it with strace and compared it with the Ubuntu run, but without success. There are many differences, but mainly due to different addresses and the end is almost the same an ends in a "vfork".

Mentor only supports RHEL and SLES, not even Debian or Ubuntu LTS. They will not help.

Re: Modelsim Intel Starter Edition

Try `strace -f` to follow the vfork child process.

Re: Modelsim Intel Starter Edition

I tried it with -f , but Modelsim behaves different in this case. The errorcode is zero, but nothing is done (both, with arch and ubuntu docker image).
