Well, good point. The angle brackets should not be part of the SDK_ROOT macro.

without the '<' at the beginning, and '>' at the end - of course ... ?

If that is the path to your instance of the nRF5 SDK, then it's correct.

I would like to note that The nRF5 SDK for Mesh v.3.1.0 requires the nRF5 SDK 15.2.0 to compile. I haven't tried using nRF5 SDK v.15.3.0.

I don't understand

"Under Build in the configuration list, edit Global macros to contain SDK_ROOT=<the path to nRF5 SDK instance>."

I fixed "SDK_ROOT=<C:\Nordic_Semi\nRF5SDK153059ac345\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345>" right??

Thank you.
I added a path and completed it.
However, the following error occurs during the compilation: What's wrong?
What's the solution?

You really shouldn't have to - the supplied projects should have that all set and ready to go.

Like I said initially, it is important to follow the 'Getting Started' instructions carefully - and the fact that you're getting these issues is probably because you didn't (quite) follow the instructions.

See Joakim Jakobsen's post

I would suggest that you take a look at the Building the mesh stack and examples.

Under "First time setup":

Before building the mesh examples with SEGGER Embedded Studio for the first time, you must complete a one-time setup of the SDK_ROOT macro in SEGGER Embedded Studio. This macro is used to find the nRF5 SDK files.

You can either:

Use the default settings of the SDK_ROOT macro. It defaults to an nRF5 SDK 15.2.0 instance unzipped right next to the mesh folder.
Set the SDK_ROOT macro to a custom nRF5 SDK instance.

To set the SDK_ROOT macro manually in SEGGER Embedded Studio:

Go to Tools -> Options.
Select Building.
Under Build in the configuration list, edit Global macros to contain SDK_ROOT=<the path to nRF5 SDK instance>.
Save the configuration.

You can verify the path by opening one of the source files under the nRF5 SDK file group. If the macro is set correctly, the file opens in the editor window. If not, an error message is displayed with information that the file cannot be found.

Regards,
Joakim

Then you probably need to study the SES User documentation.

What "detail", specifically, do you feel is missing?

For questions / feedback to Segger on their documentation, go to:

eg, https://forum.segger.com/index.php/Thread/6279-Glaring-Omission-from-SES-Manual-Include-Paths/

Nordic also have some guides specific to their products; eg,

I read the your suggest post. but It doesn't seem to be detailed

On setting Include Paths:

Note that this is a standard 'C' thing - nothing specifically to do with Nordic.

Did you carefully follow the instructions for downloading the Standard nRF5 SDK, the Mesh SDK, and making sure they are correctly installed relative to each other?

Follow the Getting Started instructions:

https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.meshsdk.v3.1.0/md_doc_getting_started_getting_started.html

The error suggests that your include path is not correctly set - which could be due to not following the installation instructions
