Make file failing

[Eric Busch]

Hi, I am trying to build the ble_blinky_client example in the nRF5 SKD v17.0.2

The make file given in the armgcc folder is failing to build the target.

I am getting the following output

C:\Nordic_SDKS\nrf5_SDK_for_Mesh_v5.0.0_src\examples\mesh_hub\ble_app_blinky_c\pca10040\s132\armgcc>make make: *** No rule to make target `C\:/Nordic_SDKS/nRF5SDK1702d674dde/modules/nrfx/mdk/gcc_startup_nrf52.S', needed by `_build/nrf52832_xxaa/gcc_startup_nrf52.S.o'. Stop.

How do I fix this?

Hi Eric Busch ,

I had this exact same issue for a different example which I had copied to my normal Dev location, which included everything in the _build folder still.  The solution was to enter "make clean" from within the newly-copied armgcc folder, which runs :

rm -rf _build

I had a look at the original nrf52832_xxaa/gcc_startup_nrf52.S.o file and compared vs. the re-built one and I could see the reference to

[ ../../../../../../../../modules/nrfx/mdk/gcc_startup_nrf52.S' ] in there, as I was scratching my head wondered why that path was still appearing even though I changed SDK_ROOT := [ My Dev location ]

I hope this helps other people to get their make working ok.

Cheers,

Martin
