Beware, this package takes about 52GB to build but only 14GB to install. It has to grab the 6GB tar from Altera's site, extract it to a bunch of files adding up to 6GB, then uncompresses those to a 14GB directory, which is then copied (another 14GB), and then packaged up (another 14GB). I recommend building the package manually instead of using a helper if you are low on space so you can remove old files along the way.

- Updated to 15.1.0.185
- Updated freetype2 link
- Added modelsim-ae.desktop and _modelsimver option for easier switching if needed
- Restructured PKGBUILD to better reflect proper workflow: prepare(): patching, package(): combine all files together. This results in easier resuming or skipping of extraction steps (like if you are using this PKGBUILD to install a different edition of Quartus/ModelSim). Before, you would always have to rerun the setup.sh script if you failed/aborted the build process which mean running extraction again. Now, this step can be skipped with '-e' if you've already done it once.

Done.

I'm currently rather time limited. Anyone willing to become Co-Maintainer?

Two things to get this working:
1. Working url for lib32-freetype2, same md5sum:
http://gaming.jhu.edu/mirror/archlinux/multilib/os/x86_64/lib32-freetype2-2.5.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
2. Either install `lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs` yourself from aur or add it as a depend.
By the way, the new Quartus Prime Lite 15.1 (new name for web edition) works using these same hacks:
http://download.altera.com/akdlm/software/acdsinst/15.1/185/ib_tar/Quartus-lite-15.1.0.185-linux.tar
EF0D9EB90E24338AD31864D3069151B0
You will also need to update the pkgver to 15.1.0.185 if you go for the new Prime.

By the way, a new version is available (15.0.2.153): http://dl.altera.com/15.0/?edition=web#tabs-5

@Masshat Package builds/installs fine for me.
However, attempting to run modelsim (/opt/altera/modelsim_ase/bin/vsim) results in:
/opt/altera/modelsim_ase/bin/../linux/vish: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It appears that ncurses 6 was released at the beginning of August 2015. Installing lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs from the AUR (in place of lib32-ncurses) allows Modelsim to start, and Quartus seems to still work OK. It may be worth editing the dependencies to reflect this.
