Honored ContributorI appear to have just had this fault, too. I had a working kernel build that was tweaked for custom hardware. I wanted to baseline the project, and work from a copy. I created a second kernel project, and copied the modified files and the .config file to the new location. I made a duplicate of the FPGA development as well. Some minor changes were made to the FPGA in the "copy" directory, and it was recompiled. I edited the configuration of the "new" kernel project so it pointed at the new .ptf file for the FPGA. That's when bad things happened. After several hours of fussing, I went back and tried to recompile the original kernel project, and it displays the same fault behavior.
The "configure project" function in the IDE doesn't work anymore either. It flashes a bash shell briefly, then closes the window. I edited the script to eliminate the window spawn, and ran the batch file from the command line.

I'm re-installing the uClinux IDE plugin as I'm typing. If it fixes the situation, I'll post my results. In the mean time, I seem to have hosed the IDE for kernel builds. I tired to build a new kernel project from scratch, but I can't get past the inability to configure the project. Regards, J3
