I start using 2.2.0 SDK and had this error when building zephyr samples external_lib using nrf52833dk_nrf52833.
the problem as show in image:
after some research I found in this question that seems same with my problem: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/70189/external_lib-not-compiling-out-of-the-box/288792 , which suggest to do the build using bash and it's work fine:
the question is how do I solve the error in visual code and build it there?
Hello,
The GNU Makefile used to build the external library has not been made compatible with Windows. The reason it fails to build here, is that on Windows, the 'mkdir' command will not recognize the '-p' option being used by the Makefile at this line:
In other words, to make this work on Windows, the Makefile will have to be modified. Here is a stack overflow post I found which discusses the same problem: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3228306/portable-makefile-creation-of-directories.
But what is your goal with using this sample? Is it to build an external library with a different build system, or to see how you can include a pre-compiled library in your project?
Best regards,
Vidar
