simple question on nios2 IDE

hi,

I have received a project (quartus with nios) from a coworker and I just wanted to open the software part in nios2 IDE 9.0.

I can open que qpf project with vhdl and schematics very easily with quartus.

I can open the sopc builder in quartus.

I can open the *.c and *.h files in nios2 IDE 9.0, but I can't open the project!!! So I can't see the build options and I can't build it.

Does anyone have any idea to do that? thank you.

    Right click on project navigator-> import...

    On opened Dialog select "Nios II Existing Nios II IDE project into Workspace", "Next", search for project path clicking on button "..." near to "Project Contents" field. Accept cleaning project build files.

    Same procedure must be done for "syslib" project.

    I have done that, I have both my projects in nios2 C++ project view, but I can't build the project.

    what do I have to choose for workspace?

    edit : when I go on properties->make_project->make_builder, I have :

    "builder is missing or disabled on project"

    Did you import both user and system library projects?

    Did you choose the rigth path for .ptf file when importing system library project?

    I have imported both projects, but I cannot find where I have to choose the right .ptf file. I'm just asked for a directory when I import a project, and not for a .ptf file.

    Be sure you have copied your folder into a path without "spaces". Please clean both projects and try a re-build.

    Project->clean and project_>Build all.

    I have already done that. I have retested and rechecked. but the build still doesn't do anything...

    I have a ptf file but I don't know how to specify the project to use it.

    PTF file is used by system library project, as You could import both projects there is no problem. Please, be sure your path doesn't have spaces.

    no "readonly" options,

    the building doesn't create any file...

    I don't understand what is happening. Maybe the workspace has to be set to something?
