Undefined reference to `_exit' when building blinky

[mraposo1]

There is a similar case where the user mentions that he fixed his issue by "changing the compiler" with no further explanations.

I have the same issue.  How do I change the compiler?  To what?

Johnathan:

Do you have a solution for it????

Hi Mario,


I don't have a direct solution for it as it is rarely the only cause for the problems that one have with NCS, it is often not a problem at all as you will get the error when everting is working fine also.
So I don't have solution for the undefined reference to _exit.


There is most likely other underlying problems causing errors that are the main culprit in it not working.
Do you still have the same problem, and if it is the same problem if you try to build different projects even for different boards does it persist?

Correct. I’m not able to build any projects.

please look at the history of the issues I posted.

The version of cmake in use caused the problem! please use cmake 3.14.5!!!
