Error with MCU boot build.

Question

Hi,

I am trying to get the sample projects working with the dongle, I am having difficulty with compiling the bluetooth examples using the provided instructions:

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/boards/nordic/nrf52840dongle/doc/index.html

As per Option 2, I have installed nrfutil, set up the build environment, downloaded the mcuboot git and checked it version 1.8:

cd ~/ncs/v3.0.0/mcuboot
git checkout v1.8.0

I have no issue building the initial blinky example, but I would like to test one of the bluetooth sample that utilize the SoftDevice and Zephyr RTOS.

When I try and build the prerequisite MCUboot the build fails with the following errors:

This seems in-line with the guidance provided.

Why is the build failing on some headers, and how to fix the TLS encryption issue?

Thanks,

I worked around the issue by not using MCUboot and building the sample applications directly with the Zephyr platform and CMake/Ninja. 
 The application can then be sequenced using the nrfutil pkg generate command... 
 #generate build from the v3.0.1/zephyr directory

rm -rf build
cmake -Bbuild -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf52840dongle "$MY_PROGRAM_DIR"

sleep 5

#generator binary
ninja -Cbuild

#generate the application zip for nrfutil, softdevice is builtin when using zephyr
nrfutil pkg generate --hw-version 52 --sd-req 0x00 --application build/zephyr/zephyr.hex --application-version 1 zephyr_app_dfu.zip

sleep 5

#push code to device
nrfutil dfu usb-serial -pkg zephyr_app_dfu.zip -p /dev/ttyACM0

Error with MCU boot build.
