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.

"You can get the latest release of the GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain here"

      I did and it did not help me.  The issue persists.

"Check out this video for a visualization of the IDE use and more: https://youtu.be/1jgImp7FBy8?t=877 "

      I did.  Thank you for the link, but it did not help me, since I tried both methods (Toolchain manager and manual) and the issue is the same.

"What is the command you use in terminal when trying to build? Do you use  west build -b thingy91_nrf9160ns ?"

     Yes.

Hi Mario,

Looks like it is a Cmake path problem.  I would suggest to uninstall all versions of Cmake and then re-install one version, then update your system path to Cmake.

Alliteratively you can try to sett a Cmake path in SES and re install NCS and try again. 

Also when you build start whit a clean build directory. 

Regards,
Jonathan

Uninstalled my installed cmake.
Uninstalled NCS.
Re-installed using Toolchain manager.



Same error.

Hi

Try to change the GNU ARM Embedded Directory from your ncs folder to the place you installed the toolchain, likely at C:\gnuarmemb\


Zephyr Base directory is ok
