Honored ContributorI built (and patched) the compiler, and use vi + make and my own scripts.
Not tried to build it for cygwin on windows - but will probably build ok. It reality for a release build you need scripts, not a gui - otherwise you can't reproduce and automate things very easily. The code we use is loaded via the PCIe slave interface from a ppc (running linux). I actually extract the nios code+data, convert them to ppc .o, and link into the ppc binary - then link the ppc binary with the nios symbol table! This guarantees the two parts match. No IDE is going to support that sequence! I need two different cross compilers on the build system.
