Plugins

I am using Quartus II 5.0 SP2, Nios2 5.0

uCLinux 1.4

It gives error while installing

cygwin plugins not installed properly.

If I try to build a project in IDE then it gives error because of this plugins issue.

How to install those?

Regards

    I had the same problem. I don't know what causes it, but it's easy to fix. Just open a Nios II SDK Shell, navigate to your install directory for uClinux (e.g. C:/Program Files/Microtronix Nios II Linux Distribution), and run ./install_cyg_ext.sh. It should create a file called install_cyg_ext.done if it succeeds.

    Thanx for the advise

    after running the mentioned ./install_cyg_ext.sh

    No .done generated

    it gives message

    umount: /usr/lib No such file or directory

    rm: cannot unlink 'crses.h' : Permission denied

    rm: cannot unlink 'form.h' : Permission denied

    rm: cannot unlink 'menu.h' : Permission denied

    rm: cannot unlink 'panel.h' : Permission denied

    rm: cannot unlink 'unctrl.h' : Permission denied

    What next?

    You're Cygwin installation (a part of Quartus II) is foobar. When you type in 'mount', from an SDK shell, what do you see? You should see something like the following: 

    C:\altera\quartus51_176\bin\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\altera\quartus51_176\bin\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
C:\altera\quartus51_176\bin\cygwin on / type system (textmode)

    If you see something different, you've got an installation issue.
