RE: Cannot build application_update example

I see. It works now. I had to copy that common folder to the parent directory. Thanks!

Inside the samples of the SDK the parent folder of the application_update folder contains that common folder.

But if I just "Create a new application from sample..." via the Welcome Page this is not the case, since the plugin only copies the actual sample with the CMake that contains the hardcoded "../common/src/update.c" instead that it would copy the common folder too or refer correctly to the http_update folder inside the SDK. (Also doesn't do it correctly if I choose "Workspace" where it downloads the complete SDK.)

So what I did is that I just copied both the application_update and common folders and then chose "Add an existing application to workspace...".

So I must admit I could have come up with that solution by myself but still its not very handy how that plugin works in this case.

Thanks for your help anyway!

Hi,

It cannot find the common files:

CMake Error at C:\Users\moss\ncs\v1.7.0\zephyr\cmake\extensions.cmake:418 (add_library):
  Cannot find source file:

    ../common/src/update.c

The http_update samples require this common folder to be present:

https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/tree/master/samples/nrf9160/http_update/common

Kind regards,

Håkon
