Honored ContributorI ran into same problem,While i tried to build ecos2.0 with QuartusII 4.2 and NIOSII IDE 1.1 and also with QuatrusII 5.0 and NIOSII IDE 5.0.
Errors were like make[1]: Nothing to be done for `headers'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/Test_Ecos/ecos_build/error/v2_0' headers finished make -r -C hal/nios2/arch/v2_0 /cygdrive/d/Test_Ecos/ecos_install/gtf-launch make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/d/Test_Ecos/ecos_build/hal/nios2/arch/v2_0' /cygdrive/d/Test_Ecos/ecos_install/gtf-launch: not found make[1]: `/cygdrive/d/Test_Ecos/ecos_install/gtf-launch' is up to date. make[1]: *** [/cygdrive/d/Test_Ecos/ecos_install/include/cyg/hal/system.h] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/Test_Ecos/ecos_build/hal/nios2/arch/v2_0' make: *** [build] Error 2 Eventually i found the reason for eCos build tools behaving strange and solution for the same. Below is the way i solved my problem The above errors are showing up only when I try to built eCos on the Hard Drive having FAT32 Partion. This time around I have converted my Hard Drive's Partion from FAT32 to NTFS. And eCos Tree build was successful. This means if anyone tries to build eCos on a Hard Drive having FAT32 File System, faces the problem. Conclusion: eCos Installation package provided by altera, is not able to build eCos Tree on Hard Drives which are having FAT32 Partions. The suggestion is if someone can modify eCos package such that eCos tools works on the Hard Drives having FAT32 partion than it will be good. I hope this helps!!
