Trouble building project with Cygwin

Hello, 

 

I am trying to automate my build process, so I installed Cygwin to build my NIOS-II software projects. I am able to build my project with the NIOS II software build tools for Eclipse GUI, but I run into a problem when build from the command line. 

 

I believe I have added the proper directories to my search path, but when I make, I still get a command not found error. I have included the error message below. Any help with solving this will be very much appreciated.  

 

Thanks, 

Nsatyana

I'd look at the nios2-stackreport file, I think it is being executed as a shell script - but may be some binary file. 

OTOH I'm not at all clear why Altera need to use java to hack elf binaries!

nios2stackreport is a bash script and its contents are as follows:# !/bin/bash 

FILEPATH=${0//\\/\/} 

_this_script=$(cd ${FILEPATH%[\\/]*} && echo $(pwd 2>/dev/null)/${FILEPATH##*/}) 

_this_script_dir=$(dirname ${_this_script}) 

export SOPC_KIT_NIOS2=${_this_script_dir/\/bin} 

. "${_this_script_dir}/sh_pl.sh" $@ 

 

I was having trouble with the last line. sh_pl.sh was not being properly called, so I located sh_pl.sh on my system and called it explicitly using its absolute path. and i got the following error message:

I have no idea how to begin debugging this. I just commented out the last line from nios2-stackreport and the build completes succesfully. I know this work around is going to come back to haunt me later, but it will do for now. Here are the contents of sh_pl.sh 

# !/bin/sh 

PERL5LIB=`cygpath -u "$SOPC_KIT_NIOS2/bin"` perl "${SH_PL:-$0.pl}" $@ 

 

Hopefully this step is not too important, and leaving it out won't affect my build.

Some observations - not that they probably affect your problem! 

 

Those scripts probably shouldn't be assuming that $0 contains the absolute path of the script. If a unix kernel processes the# ! it has to set $0 to something the process can open to get the script (which is why it is usually the full path), but the actual contents aren't well defined - it can be /dev/fd/n. 

 

The $@ should be "$@" in both scripts - otherwise the parameters are subject to field splitting (bad news if there are any embedded spaces). 

 

Might be worth setting LANG=C before running perl.
