What's wrong with the nios-elf-ld ?

Hello woody,

I think your original problem was a missing path, rather than wrong one. The linker could not find "libc.a" because there was no path specified for it; there should have been a "-LC:/altera/quartus41/sopc_builder/bin/nios-gnupro/nios-elf/lib/m32" (or whatever is required to point to the appropriate libc.a, libg.a and libm.a) in your LIBPATH definition. It may be that v3.02 had this in the linker script (excalibur.ld) - it would look something like:

SEARCH_DIR("/cygdrive/c/altera/quartus41/sopc_builder/bin/nios-gnupro/nios-elf/lib/m32");

Steve.
