FATAL ERROR: CMake is not installed or cannot be found; cannot build.

Allenchen013

Hello, I tried to using the nRF Connect SDK with VS Code, however when it seems there are some problem while I trying the build. I have read the similar post and trying to figure out what is the problem. I found it cannot find the tools and the "PATH" problem from "Generate Support Information". I have tried to reinstall everything but never fix.

[02:07:45] west build --build-dir e:\nRF_Connect_Projects\hello_world\build_1 e:\nRF_Connect_Projects\hello_world --pristine --board nrf52840dk_nrf52840 -- -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=On -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION:STRING="NONE"
[02:07:45] Failure (code 1).

    Hello, 

    From the support information that you have provided the following sticks out as possible cause

      "tools": {
    "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\SEGGER\\JLink\\JLink.exe": "7.58b",
    "nrfjprog": "Not found",
    "cmake": "Not found",
    "west": "Not found",
    "python": "Not found",
    "ninja": "Not found",
    "gperf": "Not found",
    "dtc": "Not found",
    "gnuarmemb": "Not found",
    "gn": "Not found",
    "git": "Not found"
  },

    Can you please provide the log output when you try to build the application/sample? Are you installing this using the Toolchain Manager?

    Thanks. 

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind

    Thanks for your reply.

    Here is the output when I try to build the sample "Hello World".

    > Executing task: nRF Connect: Generate config nrf52dk_nrf52832 for e:\nRF_Connect_Projects\hello_world <

Building hello_world
west build --build-dir e:\nRF_Connect_Projects\hello_world\build e:\nRF_Connect_Projects\hello_world --pristine --board nrf52dk_nrf52832 -- -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=On -DNCS_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION:STRING="NONE"

-- west build: generating a build system
FATAL ERROR: CMake is not installed or cannot be found; cannot build.

    And yes, I install the environment by Toolchain Manager. However before that I tried to install the Node.js and Python for my other projects. But it still cannot work after I uninstall the Python and Node.js.

    BTW, it works normally on my another laptop.

    Thank you for providing this. 

    Could you please enter the following command in Windows Command Prompt

    where cmd

    What does it return?

    Hello,

    The return message is "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"

    Thanks for providing this information. 

    I've discussed the issue with our VS Code extension team, and they point out that there are two Windows paths, "Path" and "PATH". The VS Code extension should have a fix in the latest version, however, you are running an older version": "2022.1.192". 

    Please try to update the extension and let me know how that works for you.

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind
