Thanks for the reply.
Actuallly, I did see the checkbox option during the install on my Windows machine; however, I was hoping to get a binary archive of the sources from their web site. I've heard through this forum that there has been some work done on getting the toolchain to run on Linux/Unix so I wanted to make sure I was working with the latest sources before trying to build a cross compiler for my Mac OS X machine.
Are the Altera changes submitted back to the "main" gcc tree? Is there a place on Altera's web site where I can download the latest gcc tools for Nios II?
