Compilation error on first attempt of SERIAL_LTE_MODEM : bootutil_public.c.obj.d: No such file or directory

[Jtelocken]

Hi,

I purchased a NRF9160 DK and am having problems on the first time I am trying to compile the SERIAL_LTE_MODEM application. I followed the steps according to the documentation and I am having the following error:

2> Compiling ‘bootutil_public.c’
2> D:/Desenvto/Desenvto_software/NRF/v1.5.0/bootloader/mcuboot/boot/bootutil/src/bootutil_public.c:603:1: fatal error: opening dependency file D:/Desenvto/Desenvto_software/NRF/v1.5.0/nrf/applications/serial_lte_modem/build_nrf9160dk_nrf9160ns/modules\mcuboot\boot\bootutil\zephyr\CMakeFiles\..__bootloader__mcuboot__boot__bootutil__zephyr.dir\D_\Desenvto\Desenvto_software\NRF\v1.5.0\bootloader\mcuboot\boot\bootutil\src\bootutil_public.c.obj.d: No such file or directory
2> compilation terminated.
Build failed

If I try a simplest example, the blinky sample, it works fine.

Has anyone faced this problem or something like this before? 

Thanks!!

Hi, Jonas!

This could be caused by the path to NCS being to long. Are you able to move the NCS installation folder to a directory higher up in the hierarchy? 

Please provide the following information as well:
- Build environment: command line or Segger Embedded Studio
- Modifications: have you done any changes to the SLM application code or configuration?

Best regards,
Carl Richard

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your quickly answer.

- Build environment: SEGGER EMBEDDED STUDIO;

- Modifications: No. I didn't make any changes. 

Yes, I will try to move the NCS installation folder.

I'll test it now and let you know how it turned out.

Thanks

Thanks, nothing out of the ordinary then. I'll await your results!

Best regards,

Dear Carl,

It was solved!

I changed the installation directory to D: /NRF.

And from then on it worked normally.

Thank you very much for the quick response and for the effectiveness.

Best Regards
