Honored ContributorLinux Kernel Configuration failes
I installed the V1.1 and still not be able to launch the configuration window after creating a new project based on Linux kernel. The BASH window appear and disappear. I have been able to get a screen shot to see the error message. Unfortunately I cannot attached it. Where can I post the screen shot ?
I am using Window XP. I saw topics related to window Patches. Is it also due for XP ?6 Replies
Altera_ForumMaga, I suspect that I am experiencing the same problem. I too had a window appear & disappear almost immediately!
I ran the same code from the command prompt so that I could capture the output error.

Hello,
I applied the "Window NT" patch to my Window XP system, although I'm not sure if the patch could work with XPs. The configuration worked fine, and the entire installation process succeeded.

sekiyama, thanks for the tip!!! I've got it working!
FYI, I applied the NT patch to my Win2K system and voila, it works. Thanks again, tjd - Altera_Forum
How can I apply the patch in Windows NT 2k???
thanks Adriano - Altera_Forum
aksanche,
The instructions to apply the patch are found where you downloaded the patch. I have included them here: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> --- Quote Start --- Extract file 'userdirs.tar.Z' and save in /usr [generally: c:\quartus\bin\cygwin\usr] Unmount /usr/lib [command from NiosII SDK Shell: 'umount /usr/lib'] Un-tar 'userdirs.tar.Z' [command from NiosII SDK Shell, issued from /usr: 'tar -xzf userdirs.tar.Z] Extract 'microtronix.bashrc' and rename as 'user.bashrc' in c:\altera\kits\nios2 [or append to existing 'user.bashrc' with command 'cat microtronix.bashrc >> user.bashrc'][/b] --- Quote End --- - Altera_Forum
