Dear Nordic company,
I am not able to compile any of my applications I was able to compile. Yesterday, everything works, but today, it doesn't work. I tried older version of SDK and tollchain, but these changes don't work.
This is bulid configuration for Serial LTE modem example.
I didn't change anything. Is problem inside Visual studio.
Kind regards
Jaroslav Havel
Hi,
I do not immediately know what could've made something that worked yesterday not work today, but let's try a few things and see if we get any closer. Could you check if building default samples work? Try eg. something like hello world, as I guess it could be that you inadvertently modified /deleted something from an application you are already working on.
And check that you are building it with the right toolchain and SDK selected. It is easy to overlook those two
Regards,
Elfving
Hi
I tried to compile example application of Serial LTE modem. I didn't make any changes. I tried many versions of SDK, 2.5.1, 2.7.0, 2.9.0 and 2.9.1 (with the same versions of toolchains). SDK and toolchain versions matching.
In all versions, I was not able to compile application (do build).
Regards
Jaroslav
mdede439 said:The web page just gave an error, so I tagged on this ticket since it was the same error.
Oh that is odd. Could you show me the error you got there?
Regards,
Elfving
The error I get is the same as this ticket was opened for, 'CMAKE_OBJCOPY-NOTFOUND' is not recognized as an internal or external command
I tried to post the output from the compiler but the webpage gives me an error and I cannot post it.
Does posting it in a code box help? If it doesn't, could you use a pastebin?
Could you also try generating support info for me using this option?
Regards,
Elfving
No, it does not work. Whenever I want to copy/paste the output of VS Code compile, the webgui of devzone complains and says something has gone wrong. I have used Firefox and Chrome, both fail.

I've now atleast put your support info in codebox here.
Elfving said:Oh that is odd. Could you show me the error you got there?
mdede439 said:The error I get is the same as this ticket was opened for, 'CMAKE_OBJCOPY-NOTFOUND' is not recognized as an internal or external command
I was btw thinking of what error the website gave you. You not being able to create a devzone ticket is a more limiting problem I would say - it would best to get that solved first.
I would assume atleast that a pastebin like this should work: https://pastebin.com/, just give me the resulting link.
