Make file failing

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

I want to use the arm-gcc toolchain independent of SES or any other IDE.

Discussing the topic with one of our experts, we could not find what is causing this. It looks like the incremental build is broken in some way. What is the reason for running make again?

make VERBOSE=1

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../make_5F00_verbose.txt

If I rerun make once the _build folder is created I get this:
make: *** No rule to make target `c\:\program files (x86)\gnu arm embedded toolchain\10 2020-q4-major\lib\gcc\arm-none-eabi\10.2.1\include\stdint.h', needed by `_build/nrf52832_xxaa/nrf_log_backend_rtt.c.o'

make --version

What is the full output of "make VERBOSE=1"? What is the output of make --version ?

I am just using make to build the project. This issue seems to occur no matter where the path is. I have opened up a fresh untouched sdk, cd into the armgcc folder of the ble_app_blink_c example and typed make. It will typically get through compilation the first time, but as soon as I type make again it can't finds some folder/file and has the inserted backslash.

If you are trying to integrate a nRF5 SDK v17.0.2 example into the nRF5 SDK for Mesh, please have a look at this guide on Integrating Bluetooth mesh into nRF5 SDK examples.

That said, the path you are defining seems to cause an issue: C\:/

There is a slash too much there. Did you try with slashes the other way? I.e. C:\Nordic_SDKS\nRF5SDK1702d674dde\ ? What are you building the project with?

I copied the example into a custom example folder.

I updated SK_ROOT inside the makefile to be

SDK_ROOT := C:/Nordic_SDKS/nRF5SDK1702d674dde

Is there something else I need to change to make this work?

Thank you,

Eric

Hello,

I'm confused. What example are you trying to build? You write ble_blinky_client example in nRF5 SDK v17.0.2, however point to the nRF5 SDK for Mesh.

Please change to nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_blinky

Kind regards,
Øyvind
