New ContributorHi Rolando,
an unofficial tutorial explains how to import a Nios V project into Riscfree for versions that do not yet offer the automatic import option (https://malt.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9280647796761-Nios-V-Project-Development-Procedure-Using-Ashling-RiscFree-IDE , part 4.5.1). I was not able to follow this procedure, it may not exactly match the version I am using.
I would use the last version of Riscfree but it seems it has a bug : https://community.intel.com/t5/Nios-V-II-Embedded-Design-Suite/RiscFree-v25-1-1-no-longer-finds-BSP-and-compiler-headers-files/m-p/1676846#M53545 without a clear workaround.
Regards,
Thierry
Occasional ContributorHi Thierry
I was able to build your application from Riscfree using the instructions provided in the Macnica application note. I also looked in to the case that reports the issue in Riscfree and I agree that the workaround is not clear. I am asking internally to see if the person who was supporting that case is able to provide the workaround.
Thanks
Rolando
New ContributorHi Rolando,
it is good news that you were able to build the application using the Macnica application note. I tried to do the same thing and can detail where our paths seem to diverge.
I follow very scrupulously the tutorial up to the end of 4.5.1. The only difference is that I am using Riscfree v23.4.1 instead of v22.2.2. Everything seems normal until the "Finish" command to create the project in Risfree. Warnings are displayed in "Problems" tab with the informations below (by category):
Description:
File '/app/build/Debug/compile_commands.json' was not created in the build. Your workbench will not know all include paths and preprocessor defines.
Resource:
app
Location:
de.marw.cmake.cdt.language.settings.providers.CompileCommandsJsonParser
Type:
CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS Parser Problem
Despite these warnings, I tried to build the application ("Build Project" command). As you can see below, the project is build (with no errors) with gmake not cmake. I do not understand why.

I join the app and bsp. You might want to check if the behavior is the same in your case.

I built this in RiscFree installed in Linux (same version as yours) and I see that it also uses gmake. The version of gmake that uses seems to be the version that is installed in the machine /usr/bin/gmake:

When building manually, seems that it does it 2 stages:
* cmake: creates all the components needed to build through gmake
* gmake: builds the binaries
So I think that the gmake stage that you see is expected. What I am not sure about is why it uses gmake for Matlab. Perhaps in Windows, that's the gmake that it finds and then it uses that.
Thanks
Rolando
