Honored ContributorOkay it's been a while since I last posted about these issues however I have since resolved any compilation issues I had by installing a custom version of make, neither the newest nor the version provided by Altera. I also had to fix the line endings in two files provided by Altera to be UNIX compatible.
Occasionally I get BLODA errors (hence why commercial software probably shouldn't be so heavily relying on cygwin): --- Quote Start --- **** Build of configuration Debug for project lab3ex1 **** make -s all includes 3 [main] make 3908 g:\altera\91sp2\quartus\bin\cygwin\bin\make.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0xC00000, top 0xCD0000, reserve_size 847872, allocsize 851968, page_const 4096 2 [main] make 7424 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11 make: G:/altera/91sp2/nios2eds/components/altera_hal/build/common.mk:48: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable 3 [main] make 5064 g:\altera\91sp2\quartus\bin\cygwin\bin\make.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0xC00000, top 0xCD0000, reserve_size 847872, allocsize 851968, page_const 4096 1543336 [main] make 7424 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11 make: G:/altera/91sp2/nios2eds/components/altera_hal/build/common.mk:54: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable make: *** No rule to make target `/cygdrive/g/altera/projects/ECE3073/LAB3/software/lab3ex1_syslib/Debug/system_description/generated_all.mk', needed by `obj/lab3ex1.o'. Stop. Build completed in 14.21 seconds --- Quote End --- Whilst now I can run code on my DE2 board debugging does not work and I get the following error: --- Quote Start --- Unable to set temporary breakpoint in main.

Yes | No --- Quote End --- or from the mouth of gdb itself: --- Quote Start --- mi_cmd_stack_list_frames: No stack. No symbol table is loaded.

Does anybody have any ideas?
