    I'll just say that the version I have is 1.1 and this is the version you can get with the CD downloaded from Altera's website.

    What version of Quartus II and Nios II to use?

    I tried twice, v5.1 and v9.0, both failed.

    I followed the instructions below:

    1. Copy DE2 demonstration NET module from Altera Demo CD to your computer.

    <cd drive letter>:/DE2_demonstrations/DE2_NET

    2. Read README.txt included in the demonstration design.

    3. Connect the DE2 board with a switch using a network cable.

    4. Connect the DE2 board VGA output with a monitor.

    5. Compile the demonstration module.

    6. Run the design by programming it onto the DE2 board.

    But when I was building the project in Nios II, I got the error:

    /bin/sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

    cygpath: can't convert empty path

    /cygdrive/c/altera/90/nios2eds/components/altera_hal/build/system_rules.mk:120: /components/altera_hal/build/gnu_rules.mk: No such file or directory

    /cygdrive/c/altera/90/nios2eds/components/altera_hal/build/system_rules.mk:124: /components/altera_hal/build/gtf_rules.mk: No such file or directory

    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/components/altera_hal/build/gtf_rules.mk'. Stop.

    I searched online, didn't find any solutions. Could anyone help me?

    Thanks a lot!
