Hi dtelrest,

I like your profile image, "we have cookies". Haha.

Ah, I should get a license then; I have the Web Edition. I was wondering if this could be the reason that I can't make the needed .elf file. I'll give you some background on what a noobie like me is doing.

I'm following a tutorial for the DE0 Nano and I'm pretty close to finishing the instructions for the NIOSii tutorial in the DE0 NANO USER MANUEL at http://www.altera.com/education/univ/materials/boards/de0-nano/unv-de0-nano-board.html?gsa_pos=1&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=de0 nano (http://www.altera.com/education/univ/materials/boards/de0-nano/unv-de0-nano-board.html?gsa_pos=1&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=de0 nano)

I get to the step where I build the hello world project. During building, I get the following message in the console window:

'No rule to make target `Info/My', needed by `Designs/myfirst_niosii/DE0_NANO_SOPC.ptf/Debug/system_description/../obj/generated_app.mk-t'. Stop.

Build completed in 1.903 seconds'

Could a web edition of Niosii or unlicensed macrofunction from a tutorial be the reason why I can't build and generate the .elf? Or does the error message above mean that I'm missing something, like making a target.

Friendly Noob,

Don
