Not able to build nRF Mesh SDK examples

[Vaishali99944]

After downloading and installing nrf mesh SDK as directed here https://www.nordicsemi.com/DocLib/Content/SDK_Doc/Mesh_SDK/v3-1-0/index. I'm not able to build any examples, I am getting this error for all the examples while doing cmake

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:36 (set_target_link_options):
  Unknown CMake command "set_target_link_options".

Couldn't figure out any particular reason for this. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you build using Segger Embedded Studio (SES) ?

Putting that into Google gives:

Hi Vaishali99944,

have you already solved this problem? I am struggling with this problem and I can not solve it

I believe you get this error if you create a build directory inside the example directory, instead of creating the build directory at the top level of the Mesh SDK. At least that was the case for me with Mesh SDK 3.2.0.
