Hi,

I tried to run hello.c as per the tutorial in the linux reference guide. However, I get the following errors when i build the project (in the Nios IDE - Im using Nios2 eval kit 1.1) :

Description                                                                         Resource           In Folder        Location
*** No rule to make target `../Rules.mak&#39;.                        hello_world  
*** No rule to make target `hello.exe&#39;, needed by `all&#39;.   hello_world    
../Rules.mak: No such file or directory                                Makefile           hello_world      line 3

I used the same makefile given in the folder with the hello.c program and did not edit the Rules.mak

The code for the rules.mak:

TOPDIR = ..
include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.mak
#  #  configurable options#   - set DEBUG = 1 to turn on debugging support# 
DEBUG = 0
PROJ_NAME = hello
INSTALL_DIR = 
PROGS := $(PROJ_NAME).exe
CFLAGS +=
# #  You should not need to modify anything beyond this point# 
ifeq &#39;$(DEBUG)&#39; &#39;1&#39;
    CFLAGS += -O0 -g
    PROGS += $(PROGS:.exe=.gdb)
endif
all: $(PROGS)
.PHONY: clean
clean:
    -rm -f *. *.elf *.gdb *.bin *.exe
.PHONY: install
install: all
ifeq "$(INSTALL_DIR)" ""
    $(error No installation directory specified)
endif
    mkdir -p $(INSTALL_DIR)/bin
    install -v $(filter %.exe, $(PROGS)) $(INSTALL_DIR)/bin

The code for the rules.mak:[/b]

I think that you meant Makefile because this is the code of the makefile.

I think that the problem is :

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

TOPDIR = ..[/b]

That means that the path of your Rules.mak file is one directory above the project's directory.

If the Rules.mak and Makefile are in the same directory then you must change the TOPDIR to :

TOPDIR = ./

Yes, you are right. It worked after changing it.

Thanks for the help.
