nRF Connect CLI Build - CMake Error

[dcmccall]

I am attempting to build a project off of the XXX template repository. So far I have gotten the workspace set up and am now attempting to run "west build" but I get the below error. This looks like CMake just can't find a custom zephyr module/plugin but I can't seem to find help anywhere for pointing CMake at the right *.cmake files. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

It would be great to get more details.

Is it possible to attach the entire log along with the error that you get?

Which sample are you trying to build? Which SDK and Toolchain version?

Regards,

Priyanka

Sure! I am using v2.6.1 of the toolchain and the SDK. This error occurs for any of the builds I attempt to run from the command line that uses the template/structure found in https://github.com/nrfconnect/ncs-example-application. I have also already set up the environment using "nrfutil toolchain-manager launch --shell"

(v2.6.1) daniel@JUS-L-B5C2TW3:~/Documents/ULC-Workspace/ULC2.git$ west build --board=noke_glock -p
-- west build: generating a build system
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:12 (zephyr_syscall_include_directories):

Thank you for the detailed update. We are looking into this.

Hi Priyanka! Is there any update on this? Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
I am yet to hear from the internal team. I have escalated the issue. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Daniel,

It looks like you're running west build from the repo root, but if it's derived from ncs-example-application then it should be built from the app subdirectory. https://github.com/nrfconnect/ncs-example-application?tab=readme-ov-file#building-and-running

Hey Priyanka!

That does seem to be the case for building the application. Most everything works when I run west build inside of the application folder. In the repository folder(workspace/repo.git/) though I have to comment out the two lines in the CMakeLists.txt file that use zephyr_syscall_include_directories in order to get the build to work from the app folder(workspace/repo.git/app/).

If I don't comment those two lines out, I get the following error

Let me know if you need any more information! We're getting closer! Thanks!

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Commenting out zephyr_syscall_include_directories is fine, because it was added in time for NCS v2.7, but you are on v2.6.1. The example app is versioned together with NCS, so your app should be derived from a matching revision of the example repo. For reference: https://github.com/nrfconnect/ncs-example-application/blob/v2.6.1/CMakeLists.txt
