Migration Error from NIOS 11.2 to NIOS 12.1

After rebuilding my project after a long pause I discovered a building error in NIOS that seems to be related to the update from NIOS 11.2 to NIOS 12.1:

The reason why I think that these errors are related to the software updates are that the invalid project paths are pointing to the previous location - ".../Altera11/...". (Why is still this previous path used?)

All errors occur in the BSP (Board Support Package) which is automatically generated.

Since this error did not occur previously, an include file (probably the standard library ?) seems to be missing.

Before building, I ran the whole workflow process - generating in Qsys, building in Quartus and updating the BSP in NIOS.

All my attempts to solve this issue failed so far.

    This issue is probably solved.

    I created a new "NIOS II Application and BSP from Template" using the updated NIOS II and then moved all previously created .c/.h files to the new created project.
