Cannot build projects in SES; 'entropy.c' & ctr_drgb.c' fatal errors

Hi Devzone,

I am struggling to build projects in SES. I am getting "fatal errors" when I try to build applications and samples. See following output from SES (asset_tracker build):

1> Compiling ‘entropy.c’
2> Compiling ‘ctr_drbg.c’

I am using the Nordic Semi. version of SES.
I have used the "Getting Started Assistant" to set up my toolchain. I have re-cloned the nRF Connect SDK using the commands mentioned in the Getting Started Assistant. I have also installed the modules mentioned in the assistant.
I am using "ncs_tag" = v1.0.0

Thanks in advance.

Regards, 
Jesper.

Hi Amanda,

I am able to build the project now, which is great :)
I did as suggested, and changed the "requirements.txt" file. I was then able to complete the installation with no further issues. 

I also didn't have any issues flashing my merged.hex to the DK. However, I don't seem to be able to get a connection. I am running asset_tracker, in an attempt to add the DK to my nRF Cloud, but only LED 3 blinks. Should I open a new thread on this topic? 

Nevertheless, thank you for your help :)

Oh no... I am getting new errors when trying to build the at_client sample, see below...

What could be the cause this time?

I performed a reboot of my pc, and I have also changed the location of my build folder (shortening the path to the build folder). I am now able to successfully build both asset_tracker and at_client.

I hope that was it, and that I can continue to build in the future.
