    Hi Sean,

    It looks like 'MinGW Makefiles' is selected for building the CMake project.

    So please change the 'MinGW Makefiles' to 'Unix Makefiles' under the project properties of RiscFree IDE (C/C++ Build > Host OS overrides) so that, it should use the Unix build tools bundled with IDE.

I think I resolved the issue. I imported the project instead of creating an empty cmake project using the same name as the NIOS V app creation tool.

With NIOS II, the Eclipse tool had the BSP and app creation process worked seamlessly. I understand all this is new, but NIOS V feels like a step backwards at the moment.

I am using Quartus Prime Std Lite 22.1 - and I am running into the IP License issue. I need to get the Standard edition to complete the task.
