    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/' Makefile

    WSLEN 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.

Hi Marco!

Thanks for reaching us,

Please follow the next steps:


  1. Install WSL
  2. Open the terminal
  3. run $ nios2_command_shell.sh
  4. run the tests you need to make , at this point it should work properly.


As resume, you need to have WSL correctly installed.

Please try those steps and let me know the results.


Best regards,

-Eliath Guzman

I have the same or similar problem.

My wsl (v2) is up to date as is my Win10 version (2004). It appears the problem is paths.

The $PATH in nios command shell contains

/mnt/e/intelFPGA/20.1/nios2eds/bin/gnu/H-i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin

That path doesn't exist in my installation: however this one does

/mnt/e/intelFPGA/20.1/nios2eds/bin/gnu/H-x86_64-mingw32/bin

Neither of those paths (or their windows equivalents) is in my windows path environment or subsequently in my wsl $PATH.

Should the 20.1 quartus full install have added a path for nios2eds, and if so which?

    Hi

    I have exactly the same error. Is there any resolution to this?

      As a temporary solution, I just found that it is working with normal windows command prompt instead of WSL. So, I just opened windows command prompt with "cmd" command. Then, set the path (that may vary on your system) as below.

      set PATH=C:\intelFPGA_pro\20.1\nios2eds\bin\gnu\H-x86_64-mingw32\bin;%PATH%

      And, built my library using "nios2-elf-gcc.exe" commands. Only thing, unix-style shell commands won't work. I just replaced "rm -f" with "del" in my makefile.

      ----

      Hope Intel will provide the proper solution to this very soon!!
