DE2 demonstration problems

I just purchased a DE2-50 board.

I'm trying to make the DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA demonstration to work on this board. I achieved to program the board with the right sof file but when i try to open and build the software with Nios II 13.0sp1 Software Build Tools for Eclipse nothing is possible.

I follow

7) Switch the workspace to the <install path>\DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA folder.

8) Build the project. (Project menu -> Build All)

as said in the readme file but when i try to build the fucntion is greyed.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Eric

    I answer myself

    It use the wrong directory. Using demonstrations in "DE2_demonstrations_Qsys" works better. In this dir i find a pdf file explainig how to regenerate bsp and solve some problems.

    But with this demonstration i have an error during the build :

    Description Resource Path Location Type

    Symbol 'VGA_BASE' could not be resolved main.c /DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA line 99 Semantic Error

    Any idea ?
