Configure Kernel Problem

Hello,

have installed the Linux PlugIn for the Nios II IDE and try to build a kernel as described in the "Quick Start Guide.pdf".

Step "configuration" (page 9) fails: the "Linux Kernel Configuration" (page 10) menu does not appear.

What are possible reasons for this failure?

Thanks

--------------------------------------

My cygwin configuration:

- default packages

- gcc, g++

- make

    The configuration.bat does not find the gcc!

    Microtronix Linux Extensions

    c:\altera\kits\nios2\bin\eclipse>pause

    Press any key to continue . . .

    May there occur any problems, when cygwin was already installed on this system???

    Try using V1.1, which now available. If you're using V1.0, you need to install the windows NT patch posted under the distribution section (you'll need to increase the search time to 60 days).

    I downloaded and installed v1.1, but had the same problem where it could not find gcc. I installed the Windows NT patch you mentioned for v1.0 and v1.1 is working fine now.
