Honored Contributorvapier, one of the developer of buildroot/uclibc/busybox, also develope gentoo linux.
he had helped a lot to port nios2. so it should work with gentoo.
but the configuration setting may be tricky and some latest update may break nios2.
so you might follow my buildroot guide, and take the build script and patches as a starting point.

--- Quote End --- Hi, Hippo. Thanks very much for the information, it's been useful thus far. Unfortunately, though, the snapshots your example build pick up are no longer visible on the websites...the oldest snapshot found there now is 20060409, and your script wants to download 20060320. I tried using 20060409 with your build script, but it looks like the patches are not 100% compatible (I run into the "rope" C++ build problem; I patched that, then ran into other problems later on, so gave up, pegging the failures to incompatible patches). One other note (though not a big deal): your build script seems to assume that "sh" or "bash" is being used as the shell...I run tcsh, and so I had to alter your instructions slightly...perhaps, next time you edit the notes, you could either alter the script, or put in a note, something like this: - if you use bash/sh, you can simply type "./build" - if you use any other shell (e.g. csh/tcsh), use "bash -c ./build" Are you planning to prepare a build with a newer snapshot? Also, for all the patches you provide in the build zip file, is there a plan for these to (eventually) make their way into the buildroot/busybox/etc. repositories? Thanks again, -- therrien
