classic... I forgot to attach the files ;-)

Hello,
I'm making some FPGA designs with Quartus II (tool from Altera) and I have a lot of problems at synthesizing some cores from OpenCores.org. I am trying iverilog to synthesise some module in the aim of using them as EDIF in Quartus. I have troubles at using this module blink.v (which successfully synthesises under Quartus) and maybe have you some explanations. First, I synthesized it with: "iverilog -tfpga -o blink.edf blink.v",
which produced the EDIF file and the following messages as output: blink.v:49: warning: Process not synthesized. fpga target: unsynthesized behavioral code fpga.tgt: IVL_LPM_CMP_EQ not supported by this target. fpga.tgt: IVL_LPM_CMP_EQ not supported by this target. fpga.tgt: IVL_LPM_CMP_NE not supported by this target. fpga.tgt: IVL_LPM_CMP_EQ not supported by this target. fpga.tgt: IVL_LPM_CMP_EQ not supported by this target. fpga.tgt: IVL_LPM_CMP_EQ not supported by this target.
Blink.v is some very poorly written code. The always block at line 49 is missing signals in the sensitivity list. (Change "always @(state)" to "always @*").
This doesn't solve all your problems. That always block produces 3 signals (wb_ack_o, wb_dat_o, and latch_dat_i). But not all signals are assigned in every branch in the if statement -- they need to be. I would also get rid of the non-blocking assignments in combinationl always blocks.
And I just noticed that latch_dat_i is also an input to the always block. This implies a combinational loop.
I would not touch this code with a 10 foot pole.
BTW, I think "-t fpga" only supports Xilinx Virtex, but I could be wrong.

Then when I'm trying to use the the EDIF file under quartus, I have the following error messages:
Warning: Can't locate Library Mapping File Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U42" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U40" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U39" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U34" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U34" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U32" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U30" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U35" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U35" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U36" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U24" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U25" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U27" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U29" of module "cell0" Error: Can't find port "Result0" in instance "U29" of module "cell0" Warning: Net "N61" has no sources.

Those messages refers to the lines from 200 in the EDIF file (blink.edf) Find attach verilog core, EDIF output from iverilog and pdf from help of quartus talking around the problem.
I'm first writing to the mailing to know if someone as a solution. I'll post a bug report if it is one.
An other question is: why is the -t option for EDIF creation named "fpga" and not "edif" ?
