Using Visual C++ for NIOS project mgt

[Altera_Forum]

Folks, 

Has anybody set up Visual C++ to run a cygwin makefile before. I am getting it running but the environment is not correct, it cant find some files/libs.

Update: 

Dont bother with VC++, just use the NIOS II IDE. Its just as good, even better for NIOS dev. Altho it does not target NIOS I out of the box, you can make a NIOS II run faster and use less LEs. The NIOS I/16 I was using was about 1/8 the speed of my NIOS II/e for about half the LEs.
