make: *** No rule to make target problem

Hi, 

 

I'm receiving this error in Nios: 

 

.... 

.... 

.... 

Compiling alt_uncached_free.c... 

Compiling alt_uncached_malloc.c... 

Compiling alt_unlink.c... 

make: *** No rule to make target `obj/alt_up_parallel_port.o', needed by `libLab5_70_2_source_syslib.a'. Stop. 

Build completed in 82.86 seconds 

 

When I try to compile my syslib project. It's choking on the altera_up_avalon_parallel_port. Everything seems to be fine in the Quartus compile and in SOPC, but it won't get past this. I've tried both 'custom' and 'expansion header' in SOPC just in case. 

 

From previous posts I've seen, I've uninstalled an old version of Cygwin and did a completely clean reinstall of both Quartus 9.1 and Nios 9.1. There are no spaces in any of the dir names. 

 

I'm using a DE2-70 and the latest (I think) version of the parallel port ip (9.0). 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks. 

Robert

I have the same problem on ubuntu 8.04 with quartus/nios 9.0 sp2!  

 

Creating generated_all.mk... 

Creating system.h... 

Compiling crt0.S... 

make: *** No rule to make target `obj//lib/driver/irq.o', needed by `libmc0_syslib.a'. Stop. 

Build completed in 12.575 seconds 

 

I also have no spaces in the path and compiling the processors seems to be ok!

If you did a full clean of all projects and it doesn't resolve it, then try this: Delete the syslib project entry and say yes to delete files in the project. Do a clean of the main project. Recreate the syslib (File -> New -> choose new syslib). You may want to print a screen shot of the existing syslib dialog if you've made changes you want to keep.

this was not solving my problem! :( 

In addition you need to know that my nios2 processor has a self written module. This module needs this irq.o file and several others. 

How is it now possible to say nios2 that this files are (uncompiled) in a special external folder.  

 

When i create a processor in sopc_builder without this self written module compiling the lib works file! 

 

Thanks in advance

I solved the problem! It was a project specific thing. Forgot to set an environment variable!

i don't think that it will help you because it was really a special situation i had in my project! 

 

I have a self written nios2 modul in my design and some self written drivers! My Problem was that the path to this driver was wrong! 

 

This Path was specified in my project folder under lib/wrapper/avalon/HAL/src/component.mk 

 

If you also have this kind of situation you can check if all entries in this file are correct :) otherwise i can't help you!

hm I remember that the problem can also be that you have some spaces in the path from your quartus installation! Because the file you mentioned is a standard library so i think something is wrong with your installation or your system paths!

I had the same problem. The reason was that I clicked on NO, when I was ask to set the environmental variable during the start of the Nios II IDE. If you use different version of the IDE on one PC. Always click yes to the set the environmental variable after you switched the IDe version.
