VS Code with nRF KConfig unable to build working config for native_posix

[Kyrre Aalerud]

It appears that KConfig is uable to find any compilers for native_posix with VS Code on windows 10 after installing all recommended packages and prerequisites during SDK install.

On Linux or via example docker images this is solved by supplying gcc in /usr/bin/gcc.

If one has Visual Studio community 2022 installed, this generator (running cmake-gui manually from console on windows 10) does provide a working gcc.

Thank you for understanding.

Hello,

Sorry for the long response time I took. I wanted to inquire with internal team on this which took the time.

Reason is with the toolchain bundels we don't provide a native compiler, So far there is no plan on including this.

Kind Regards,

I understand, but with a native compiler like Visual Studio 2022, or mingw it still fails.

Hello,

I can't comment on this as we have only tested posix/native boards in linux. May be you can create a query in VScode forum.

Kind Regards,
