Trying to build asset tracker for Thingy91 following the instructions at
https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/ug_thingy91.html

I get:

"If, for some reason, the toolchain manager picks up your local cmake mid-sequence, problems can occur. Which version of cmake is your local one?"

    A: This is my only one.  What do you mean by "LOCAL ONE"?

    I tried to use the toolchain manager because it is supposed to be a "one-click" solution.
   Apparently it is broken.  Now, after I removed the installation using Toolchain and deleted the ncs folder, the "Open IDE" option is    gone.

"When you compile cloud_client, it seems you get past the initial compile error?"

    A: I was able to get past the initial error ny looking at the makefiles and guessing which enviornment variables were not set by the Toolchain Manager.  But I got stuck with other errors. I don't think this should be the way to go.

Hi,

 

My apologies. We are continuously trying to improve the Toolchain manager (TCM), but we do see some issues wrt. having duplicates in the environment path, for instance that you have cmake installed locally and its also shipped with the toolchain manager.

Could you try to go into segger embedded studio nordic edition, Tools -> Options -> nRF connect, and check the manual paths to the executable's?

If that still fails, could you try to re-install NCS to another path and see how it behaves there? for instance c:\sdk\

 I understand. This means that the issue still occurs at your end.

Can you check which version of cmake is installed in "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe"?

 

Kind regards,

Håkon
