pc-ble-driver build error

[bzach]

Building the pc-ble-driver on an Arch Linux machine fails with the following error

./pc-ble-driver/src/pc-ble-driver-4.1.4/src/common/transport/uart_transport.cpp: In member function ‘virtual uint32_t UartTransport::impl::open(const status_cb_t&, const data_cb_t&, const log_cb_t&)’:

Adding CXXFLAGS = "-D_GLIBCXX_USE_NANOSLEEP" as some googling suggests does not remedy the error

Hi,

I have not encountered this error when building the library with Ubuntu, so I'm not sure why you are seeing it. It doesn't really look like an OS related build error either. Could you maybe try to build the driver with vcpkg as instructed here: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver-py#building-from-source? Also, as you may have noticed, pre-built libraries are avaible on the release page:  https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/releases

Best regards,

Vidar

Hi,
Try to add

#inlcude <thread>

to "pc-ble-driver/src/pc-ble-driver-4.1.4/src/common/transport/uart_transport.cpp".
