Building infinite loop

[Joao Colombari]

Hi, 

I am currently finishing the intermediate SDK course of yours and suddenly I got a really strange behavior.

The build just endlessly enters a loop in Found GnuLd as the screenshot shows. I have already tried restarting my computer and SDK and also tried touching VScode with a different SDK version. None worked. 

Any idea? 

João.

SDK version: 2.6.0

Build target: nRF5340 Audio DK

OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2

I have the same Problem (Sonoma 14.4.1, NCS 2.6, nrf52840dk_nrf52840)

It works with NCS 2.5

Hi,

What happens if you use NCS v2.5.0 with toolchain v2.6.0 (instead of v2.5.0), and NCS v2.6.0 with the older toolchain v2.5.0?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hello guys!

Thanks for the relies.  chris1111  and Schmid , if you don't  want to share anything else, I'll close this issue.

As previously stated in my initial reply, this was not a solution.  This is not work.

> I have tried to remove all my previous ncs SDK's, remove and reinstall ncs 2.6.0, toolchain manager, nrf connect for desktop, VSCode and all nRF-associated extensions, to no avail.

Running into the same error, reinstalling everything did not resolve my issue.

To expand on it, if I restart Vscode it will work one time for me before freezing on GnuLd. After the first build, does not matter which SDK version I try they all freeze on the build.

Hi all,

Do you get the same build error when you use "west build" instead of building from VS Code?

Best regards,

Yes the same issue occurs.  GnuLd stalls and spins forever.  

I also tried the steps @Antonio provided below, where I removed all extensions and SDK/toolchain, then reinstall all from within VSCode.  However that did not resolve the issue.  GnuLd still continues to stall and spin forever.
