moving my Nios project to another pc

I have NIOS II 9.1 build tools. I have a project that compiles/links/debugs successfully. I want to put that project on another machine with the exact same IDE. I copied the whole directory tree...

roujesky, if you are using build tools you can import your project like a command line project. For description please refer:

http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii5v2.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii5v2.pdf)

When you are using the classical IDE the look in the Appendix A:

http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52002.pdf (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2sw_nii52002.pdf)

"Software build tools projects and Nios II IDE projects are not interchangeable.

However, you can manually convert an IDE project to a Software Build Tools project."

I'm using also classical IDE. For transferring projects you have to copy all the IDE stuff (including the .metadata directory where the workspace settings are stored) which could be outside your tree.

Another way is to create a new projet with the same settings an then copy all the sources in the project directory. After that you must refresh your project in the IDE.
