New ContributorHi
I was not able to get the procedure you describe to work. I did however find the below post which gives a link to a patch.
Unfortunately, when I try and apply the patch I get an error messages to tell me that the patch is for version 20.1.0.177 but I have version 20.1.0.711. I then visited the quartus down load page to see if there was a later version, but I struggled to download using this account. When I tried I was locked in an endless loop between the download page and the account login page. To solve this I had to create a new account, but then I discovered the latest version us 20.1.0.711 ?

New ContributorI should add to the above that if you apply the patch anyway, and regardless of the version mismatch, it doesn't work and the build problems still exist.
ModeratorHi @DavidCambridge,
Sorry to hear that and apologies for the inconvenient, to double check the above workaround to use the NIOS2 command shell does not work for you to build the design?
Also the patched that you mention you have tried is it in the following KDB? And that is also not working?
Possible to share what are the quartus version that you have tried those step and the error message that you are seeing?
You are using WSL 1 yes?
Warm regards.
New ContributorThanks again for the response. Regarding your questions:
‘to double check the above workaround to use the NIOS2 command shell does not work for you to build the design?’ Yes, that is correct the workarounds do not work. After making the suggested changes, I now get the error message “nios2-elf-g++.exe: error: missing argument to '-msys-crt0='”
‘Also the patched that you mention you have tried is it in the following KDB? And that is also not working?’ Yes, that is correct. I find after applying the patch I can’t generate the BSP. It fails with an unable to execute wsl dos2unix error.
‘Possible to share what are the quartus version that you have tried those step and the error message that you are seeing?’ . Please refer to me post above. I have described the quartus version numbers, the installation error messages, and I refer you to the above comment where I note after installing the patch it breaks being able to generate the BSP.
‘You are using WSL 1 yes?’ - at the moment I’m on version 1, I’ve also tried 2, but that also failed.
I do appreciate the help I’m getting here, but I think it’s also fair to point out that it’s almost a month since I raised this post and longer since others pointed out the same problem - hence I’d really appreciate it if we can get this fixed.
Thanks in advance
David
