Occasional Contributornios2-elf-gcc.exe: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
As a solution to the issue nios2-elf-gcc.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1': CreateProcess: No such file or directory we have found useful what follows.
Before running make.exe on the generated Makefile, add this to your bash script:
export WSLENV=PATH/l:${WSLENV}
sed -i 's/\(adjust-path[-mixed]*\) = .*/\1 = $1/' MakefileWSLEN fixes missing pathnames, while sed basically removes the effect of adjust-path.
This is an issue introduced by a Windows update but I still believe Intel should provide a fix or patch for it. We wasted several days on it.
Occasional ContributorI installed now 20.2 and it gives the same error but a bit more info:

Occasional ContributorEasy way to replicate:
1.- create an empty C source file (e.g. a.c)
2.- execute gcc from the nios shell
nios2-elf-gcc.exe -c a.c
and you'll get the error.

Another bit of info. We had a second PC where our original script was working (i.e. nios2-elf-gcc.exe was not failing). Today we updated this PC to Windows 19041.450 and after that we get the same error message also on this second PC!
