Problems with installing Nios2 Linux

Hi,

--- Quote Start ---

It's the Makefile that assumes the sc.cfg and syslog.conf

I don't know what do to about it. If I remove those two variables then it builds, but they should be somewhere shouldn't they? The other changes was because of deprecation in Perl about define statement and a header in serve_image.c that I had to comment out but I don't know what I'm doing.

The files which are indicated by the tag ETC_FILES-y

#
ETC_FILES-y = 
    filesystems group issue mdev.conf mime.types modprobe.conf motd 
    passwd profile rc TZ nsswitch.conf syslog.conf sc.cfg

are copied from your /nios2-linux/uClinux-dist/vendors/Altera/common directory ro /etc.

#
    for f in $(ETC_FILES-y) ; do 
        $(ROMFSINST) ../common/$$f /etc/$$f ; 
    done ; 

So you must create the 'syslog.conf' file (which is used for rsyslogd) and 'sc.cfg' (I don't know what's this).

And you have 4 errors which are caused by your 'rc' script file.

1) ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

are caused by the lines 86 and 87.

#  Set up eth1 IP address
ifconfig eth0 192.168.11.4 up
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.4 up

2) cp: can't stat '/etc/sc.cfg': No such file or directory

is caused by the line 93.

#  Move SoftClock config file to where it is accessed by application, location is hardcoded in application
cp /etc/sc.cfg /var/log

3) insmod: can't insert '/usr/sbin/fpga.ko': No such file or directory

Usage: mknod [-m MODE] NAME TYPE MAJOR MINOR

are caused by the lines 96 and 101.

# Set up device driver, insert kernel module
insmod /usr/sbin/fpga.ko#  create device node using major number /proc/devices table
CURRWD=`pwd`
cd /dev
MAJOR_NUM=$(awk 'BEGIN {FS=" "}; {if ($2 == "fpgasymm") print $1;}' /proc/devices)
mknod -m=777 fpgasymm c $MAJOR_NUM 0
cd $CURRWD

4) sh: can't execute 'rsyslogd': No such file or directory

is caused by the line 105.

#  start rsyslogd daemon
rsyslogd -n -m0 -f /etc/syslog.conf &

If you don't require these, please delete or comment out those lines and recompile the kernel.
