Unable to add BSP after subversion switch

Hello there,

I have a Nios2-Project running for a while now, and do organize my code with subversion. There's everything checked in, even the project settings and .metadata from eclipse. Yesterday I switched to a branch for the first time with this project and now i cannot specify a Nios BSP and so i do get the following compiler error 


make all 
makefile:312: *** Edit Makefile and provide a value for BSP_ROOT_DIR.  Stop.

I even switched back to my original location.

Now every time i open the Project Properties->Nios2 Application Properties every field is blank. So i can specify the BSP but if i close the properties and reopen, everything is gone. So it seems, that there is a Problem writting to the settings.

Does anybody know, which file is used by eclipse to stroe these settings, so maybe i'll just delete it.

My Configuration:

Win7 64Bit

Nios EDS 12.0.178

I run Eclipse as administrator

Thanks

    Hi there,

    it's me again:

    So after i got rid of the daily madness at work, i got a few more minutes to spend on the problem:

    I fond that in the makefile the following: 

    
ACTIVE_BUILD_CONFIG := default
BUILD_CONFIGS += default
BUILD_CONFIGS += Release
include $(ACTIVE_BUILD_CONFIG)_config.mk

    was reduced to: 

    ACTIVE_BUILD_CONFIG := default
BUILD_CONFIGS += default

    So that the default_config.mk wasn't used anymore, which is btw the file which holds all the Nios Application Properties.

    So now i do have to figure out, why this was lost. It may be, that my colleague, who created the svn branch, does have an older version, which do not use these _config.mk

    But anyway, iam glad it works now!
