        Hi,

        we are seeing the exact same issue as sergvdm.

        Beside from ubuntu 18.04 and wsl1 we also tried ubuntu 20.04 with wsl2 but no luck either.

        It's failing to compile the sequencer.elf because of:

        Error: s0: Compiling alt_dcache_flush_all.c...
        Error: s0: nios2-elf-gcc.exe -xc -MP -MMD -c -I./HAL/inc -I. -I./drivers/inc -pipe -D__hal__ -DALT_NO_C_PLUS_PLUS -DALT_NO_CLEAN_EXIT -D'exit(a)=_exit(a)' -DALT_NO_EXIT -DALT_USE_DIRECT_DRIVERS -DALT_NO_INSTRUCTION_EMULATION -DALT_USE_SMALL_DRIVERS -DSMALL_C_LIB -DALT_SINGLE_THREADED -Os -g -Wall -mno-hw-div -mno-hw-mul -mno-hw-mulx -mgpopt=global -o obj/HAL/src/alt_dcache_flush_all.o HAL/src/alt_dcache_flush_all.c
        Error: s0: Makefile:539: recipe for target 'obj/HAL/src/alt_dcache_flush_all.o' failed

        I want to look at the generated code for the sequencer, but sadly the temp folders get deleted after failing.

        WSL is now mandatory, right?

        So why do you still call windows binaries (nios2-elf-gcc.exe) instead of linux elfs in the wsl?

        Please help us.

        I can't stay much longer on 18.01 and disabled wsl.

        regards Michael Frank
