Build project in nios2 IDE

...try search "dummy_file"

I've been having problems building the example count_binary software project (and all others) while working through the NiosII

hardware tutoria. The build kept finishing with the following error...

Error *** [E:/altera/kits/nios2/tutorials/Nios2_HW_Tutorial/1C20/first_nios2_system_sim/dummy_file] Error 2 count_binary_0

It took me a while to suss out how to stop this, but it turned out that dummy_file didn't exist, so it was just a matter

of creating a text file in Windows explorer then renaming this to dummy_file.

The build now works fine.

This has been a public serivce post for any others who have the same problem!
