After much trial and error I have found a solution to building a simple CPP project.

  1. Build the BSP as usual (I make sure to check the enable small lib and small drivers).

  2. Build a NIOS-II project based on the BSP.

  3. With the project selected, add a new file to the project. I used the "File from Template". Make sure it has the .cpp extension. Now you should have the file insterted in your project, but it will have no code inside.

  4. Open the file for editing and insert the standard main() function, I used:

extern "C"

{

#include <stdio.h>

#include "system.h"

}

int main(void)

{

puts("Hello World!!!");

return 0;

}

Life is good again!:)
