Using "Linked Resources" in NIOS II IDE

Hi,

I tried to use “linked resources”, files or folders that are stored in locations in the file system outside of the project’s location, in NIOS II IDE. So, when I build a software application project, it will grab files outside of the project location to build. However, it didn’t work as I expected.

Please see the following error from NIOS II IDE console:

**** Build of configuration Debug for project Application_MV300_DmaTest ****

make -s all

/cygdrive/c/altera/61/nios2eds/components/altera_hal/build/gnu_rules.mk:240: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.

Build completed in 1.046 seconds

Have anybody seen this problem before? I really hope to be able to share files among multiple application projects. Since Altera does mention how to do "linked resources" in their software developement training, there must be way to get it work/compiled.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you very much!
