I'd really like to run Altera FPGA software on my FreeBSD machine. I've installed the program on Debian, and simply copied the entire folder over to FreeBSD. I'm aware that may be hoping for too much already, but the installer won't work with FreeBSD

The Quartus II software will not function properly on this processor model.
Terminating...
exit: Illegal number: -1
