thingy52-provisioning-demo not compiling with cmake

[tmwinjy]

Hi,

I am currently having issues compiling the thingy52-mesh-provisioning demo from github with cmake. The Readme talks about using SES to compile it, which works fine, but i am trying to make a script to compile it all at once with other demos. The demo comes with a CMakeLists.txt so I assumed it could be copiled with CMake but it could not compile. I have had to make modifications to each layer of CmakeLists files and still it is having linking errors and is not compiling files from ThingySDKv2.1 which are needed. Am I overlooking something? Would anyone know a fix or the correct way to compile the demo with cmake?

Thank You,

Takunda

You haven't said what errors you're getting - so impossible to say how to fix them!

SES shows you all of the commands it uses to do its build - so compare that against what your CMake build is doing ...

I am getting different errors at different stages. for example with the unchanged code after running cmake and then make I get the following:

SES has no dependancies on the cmake as it already came with its project and session files in the demo. It shows the way it compiles the files yes, but does not help me understand why my cmake  is not doing the same. For example, upon fixing header file issues or adding the missing files, I run into linking errors as below:

The CMakelists does not seem to locate any of the files found in the ThingySDKv2.1
