link fail on a sample code compile on SES on Mac.

Question

I try to build and test my first time SES setup on Mac for further development on an existing nRF51 project and future nRF52 project. 
 I use SES for Nordic V4.14 and SDK 12.3.0 
 I try to compile the the following sample, and got the following error: 
 Building ?ble_app_eddystone_pca10028_s130? from solution ?ble_app_eddystone_pca10028_s130? in configuration ?nrf51422_xxac?

Build failed Any one know where can I define this symbol "__STACKSIZE_IRQ__" ?

Please take a look at Jan Tore Guggedal's comment from over 2 years ago in this devzone blog post 
 "I have now tried SEGGER Embedded Studio (3.10f) on macOS , and I experience the same issue as @syntroniks when I import an example project from the SDK (12.1.0). It seems SES for some reason is not able to find the nRF52832_xxAA as target processor and because of that wrong files and settings are added to the project. There's an underlying problem with project imports on macOs in there somewhere causing this, so if someone has figured out what it is and how to fix it, please comment. 
 Here is what I did to get the examples working after the unsuccessful import, in addition to what is described in this tutorial:

Install the nRF CPU Support Package (along with the already installed CMSIS-CORE support package) Tools -> Package manager -> Install nRF CPU Support Package

Import the project. Remove crt0.s and ARM_Startup.s from Internal files folder in project explorer.

Add <your SES folder>/source/thumb_crt0.s to Internal files.

Go to Project -> Edit options... -> (General tab) Build -> Property Groups File and add the path $(PackagesDir)/nRF/XML/property_groups.xml

Click Ok for the previous step to take effect

Go to Project -> Edit options... -> (General tab) Build -> Target Processor and select nRF52832_xxAA as target

Go to Project -> Edit options... -> (Linker tab) Linker -> Section Placement File and add $(StudioDir)/targets/Cortex_M/flash_placement.xml

The project should now build. To flash it to the DevKit, confirm the following: 
 
 Project -> Edit options... -> (Debugging tab) J-Link -> Target Interface Type should be set to SWD"
