    As a solution to the issue nios2-elf-gcc.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1': CreateProcess: No such file or directory we have found useful what follows.

    Before running make.exe on the generated Makefile, add this to your bash script:

    export WSLENV=PATH/l:${WSLENV}
    sed -i 's/\(adjust-path[-mixed]*\) = .*/\1 = $1/' Makefile

    WSLEN fixes missing pathnames, while sed basically removes the effect of adjust-path.

    This is an issue introduced by a Windows update but I still believe Intel should provide a fix or patch for it. We wasted several days on it.

As a temporary solution, I just found that it is working with normal windows command prompt instead of WSL. So, I just opened windows command prompt with "cmd" command. Then, set the path (that may vary on your system) as below.

set PATH=C:\intelFPGA_pro\20.1\nios2eds\bin\gnu\H-x86_64-mingw32\bin;%PATH%

And, built my library using "nios2-elf-gcc.exe" commands. Only thing, unix-style shell commands won't work. I just replaced "rm -f" with "del" in my makefile.

Hope Intel will provide the proper solution to this very soon!!
