Trouble compiling kernel

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get the kernel to compile. In the NIOS II IDE, I right-click on the linux_kernel project and select "Build All." 

 

The errors I get are not at all enlightening (at least not to me):

Using /cygdrive/c/altera/kits/nios2/bin/eclipse/plugins/com.microtronix.nios2linux.kernel_1.4.0/linux-2.6.x as source for kernel

I tried deleting /cygdrive/c/altera/kits/nios2/bin/eclipse/plugins/com.microtronix.nios2linux.kernel_1.4.0/linux-2.6.x/include2/asm 

but I still get the same error - it looks like make re-creates it via a sym link. 

 

Any hints would be GREATLY appreciated.

I uninstalled EVERYTHING - Quartus, NIOS II Dev Kit, and the uCLinux kit. I deleted everything I could find in the Windows registry related to Altera, NIOS, Quartus, cygwin, or uCLinux. Then I reinstalled everything again. But I still get the same error. My working space is on a network drive, and I wonder if /that/ could be the root of the problem?

Perhaps. I moved everything to a local drive and that problem went away. After fighting through a couple more errors, I got stuck on this one: 

 

CC arch/nios2nommu/kernel/asm-offsets.s

Help?
