Build uClinux kernel puzzle

Hello everyone:

when I built the uClinux kernel, I was not sure whether it has been built successfully. Because the last information is:

" make: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/altera/kits/nios2_60/bin/eclipse/plugins/com.microtronix.nios2linux.kernel_1.4.0/linux-2.6.x' "

I remember there should be a "build complete " information if the kernel was built successfully.

If it was not, can anyone tell me the reason why it is wrong? My target SOPC project is the example project(cyclone 2c35/standard) of the Nios II kits, And my software edition is Quartus II 6.0, nios II 6.0, Microtronix Nios II Linux Distribution V1.4.

I paste the built information below. thanks very much!

    Thank you hippo, A few days ago I have fellowed a guide and built the kernel successfully, but now the situation is I performed the same steps but the result was not right. The only change to my system is I have updated my quartus II and nios II software to 6.0 edition.

    So I wonder whether the Microtronix Nios II Linux Distribution V1.4 edition is just fit for the Nios II 5.0?

    Thank you.

    Yes, it works with Nios2 5.0 only.

    So, I would suggest the wiki, which is independent of Nios2 version.

    Building a kernel and a filesystem based on the Microtonix distribution works for me with Nios 2 EDS 6.0 and Quartus II 6.0.

    maybe the nios2 is independent with uClinux! before I use Quartus5.0 + Redhat,when I update to Quartus6.0 , only Recomplie my NIOS2 project and use the old uClinux , All is ok!

    Thank you all!

    Helmchen, it seems that you have the uClinux edition supports Nios II 6.0.

    Can I download it on the net? and what is the link ? Thanks.

    As i remember there is NO "Build complete" or something similar. So it should work and an vmlinux.bin has been generated. if not, i&#39;m sorry that i cannot give you any hints

    I unpack and patch the sources as per http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ems/uclinuxdist (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/uclinuxdist)

    When I come to the vendor hwselect I get a strange error http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

    [beham@localhost uClinux-dist]make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=~/tPadNG/altera_nios_dev_board_cyclone_2c35.ptf

    make ARCH=nios2nommu CROSS_COMPILE=nios2-linux-uclibc- -C vendors vendor_hwselect

    make[1]: Entering directory `/home/beham/uClinux-dist/vendors&#39;

    /home/beham/uClinux-dist/config.arch:108: *** commands commence before first target. Stop.

    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/beham/uClinux-dist/vendors&#39;

    make: *** [vendor_hwselect] Error 2

    I run FC6 and have installed gcc nios crosscompiler from the wiki page.

    Anyone got an idea to share on how to sort this one out??
