Linux development environment

Does anyone know if the Nios II port of uClinux is available as a simple tarball (i.e. tar.gz or .tgz) that can be downloaded to a Linux machine and configured and built using the nios2-elf-gcc cross...

I have extracted the source code for the elf2flt utility that was part of the Nios II IDE installation.

I found it in the altera/kits/nios2/examples/software/linux/utils directory.

I moved this directory over to my Linux machine and ran dos2unix on all the files.

I've been trying to get it configured and build properly, but I'm running into a problem with an

"undefined reference to '__getreent' " error.

The README for the elf2flt utility only discusses the inclusion of the libbfd.a and the libiberty.a libraries.

I think I've pointed to the correct location for these, but the __getreent symbol is still not found.

The interesting thing is that non of the elf2flt c files actually call the __getreent function. The errors point to the fprintf function.

It must be using the __getreent.

Does anyone know how to resolve this error?
