libs for NIOSII

Hi all, do anyone have found information about building a library for the niosII and how I can use this library in IDE projects? Thank you for help. Siegmar

Hi Siegmar,

Yes, we agree. Support for a project of type "Library" will be supported within the Nios II IDE so that the IDE will manage the library's makefile in a release targeted toward the end of this year. I will be posting an example by Monday (perhaps tonight) which will show you how you can add a dependency to an IDE managed project which links in a common library which has been built externally to the IDE. The paths do need to be absolute though, and the IDE does not know about how the library is built, so debugging of a library built outside the IDE can be problematic. This should be all taken care of when the IDE can handle a "Library" type project later this year. For now, you could debug your library sources by pulling them into an IDE managed project, and then pull the library sources out into the externally built library after it has been debugged.

Best regards,

Stephen
