Can someone help me in building my project?

I am trying to build my light switch example, It is giving me errors. I am posting this for the third time. Please help with it. 

Thanks.

What if you try changing SDK_ROOT=C:\Nordic_Semi\nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a to SDK_ROOT=C:/Nordic_Semi/nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a ?

Hello Bjorn, still the same error. Could i reach out to any of your engineers on a call or may be screen sharing? I am really stuck and would like to move forward with it as soon as possible Thanks!

Sorry. My bad. My last comment was slightly wrong (I just wanted to say that you should change the back slashes to forward slashes). The issue you are having has to be because of an incorrect path to the sdk 15 folder. What you can do is click right behind your SDK v15 folder like shown here:

Then, the windows should be highlighted blue & show you the path to the sdk 15 folder. The path should probably be:

C:\Users\<your windows username>\Desktop\nordic\Nordic_Semi\nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v2.1.1.src

Then, change the back slashes to forward slashes (change \ to /):

SDK_ROOT=C:/Users/<your windows username>/Desktop/nordic/Nordic_Semi/nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a 

That should definitely work. Let me know if it works.

Hello Bjorn, thanks for your detailed explanation. But I did understand your last comment and provided the path in this same way. But it did not work. Still throwing error.

That is why I was asking if there is any better way to convey my problem. Regards!

Hi, are you certain that there is no space after your SDK_ROOT global macro in SES? Could you please send me the complete path to SDK_ROOT. I am not able to see the complete path in your last screenshot unfortunately.

Also, could you try making the path to the SDK_ROOT folder shorter (i.e. copying the mesh sdk & sdk 15 folders closer to the C drive for example). It can happen that the path might be too long in your case, which can lead to some errors sometimes.

e.g. I have this SDK_ROOT=C:/NordicSemi/SDKs/nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a

I have talked to another colleague & he mentioned a very similar issue that you are receiving. You can receive compilation problems & not find the correct files if the path is too long or there are whitespaces in your path. You do not have the second issue, but it could very well be that your path is too long.
