RE: Using own application repo

On the master branch, we have now changed to ${ZEPHYR_BASE}/../nrf/cmake/boilerplate.cmake:

https://github.com/NordicPlayground/fw-nrfconnect-nrf/pull/1680

You can also use west:

Hi!

Thanks for your help.

I tried the hello_world example. This works fine.

When building the mqtt_simple it says the following:

west build -b nrf9160_pca10090ns
-- west build: build configuration:
       source directory: C:\nrf91\ncs\applications_test\mqtt_simple
       build directory: C:\nrf91\ncs\applications_test\mqtt_simple\build (created)
       BOARD: nrf9160_pca10090ns (origin: command line)

It seems like there is a relative path to cmake/boilerplate.cmake in the CMakeLists.txt

include(../../../cmake/boilerplate.cmake NO_POLICY_SCOPE)

I set it manually to the correct path

include(C:/nrf91/ncs/nrf/cmake/boilerplate.cmake NO_POLICY_SCOPE)

Then it builds.

Can you tell me what the correct environment variable would be to avoid absolute path?

Hi.

The "C" in your ZEPHYR_BASE is lower case, while the one in the CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR is upper case. This confuses the build script.

If it is set by you running the zephyr-env.cmd script, either do it from inside the zephyr/scripts folder or by having an upper case "C" in the path to the script.

Best regards,

Didrik
