Nios2 shell (Cygwin)

It seems that the NIOS2 shell (Cygwin) does not include the gcc (not gcc-elf) package.

Can someone tell me how to get the NIOS2 shell supports gcc?

    Hi kwokwong,

    I'm assuming you want native gcc (x86).

    Download/install microtronix linux -- it includes native gcc.

    Thanks for the advice. I decide to use a MingGW distribution (smaller).
