Nios II IDE Reports Problems Without Displaying Error in Console

Description

When building a project, the Nios II IDE reports problems, but the build output in the console does not contain any errors.

The Nios II IDE incorrectly reports some linker warnings as errors, with a dialog box saying Errors exist in a required project. The Dhrystone software example exhibits this behavior, and recompiling the project again makes the issue go away.

Resolution

If the Console output does not contain errors, then the project built correctly. On subsequent builds, the linker step is skipped and the errors do not appear.
