Failed to manually build blinky example

[mraposo1]

Had tried to build it from the IDE before.  Couldn't do it.
Tried to build manually, got exactly the same error I was getting in the IDE.

Hi Mario,

What version of ncs do you have?
What version of cmake do you have?
Can you build other example projects?

I see that you have a dot "." in you path. C:/Users/mario.raposo/... Try to change the "." to a underscore "_" and se if you still have the same build errors. 

The error:

CMake Error at ../../../cmake/extensions.cmake:1557 (message):

is the following 

 check_if_directory_is_writeable(${test_user_dir} ok)
      if(${ok})
        # The directory is write-able
        set(user_dir ${test_user_dir})
        break()
      else()                          // This is line 1557
        # The directory was not writeable, keep looking for a suitable
        # directory
      endif()

Regards,
Joathan

1. ncs 1.3.1 (Can I get 1.4.0 somewhere?)
2. cmake version 3.18.4
3. None of them build.

The latest issue I have is when trying to build the cloud_client example:
