Compile Bluetoth mesh examples using Cmake returns error

[SørenHN]

When trying to follow this guide for testing bluetooth mesh on a nRF51 dev-board Cmake returns this error:

../build $ cmake ..
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:16 (include_directories): include_directories given empty-string as include directory.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:33 (message):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/sarita/Documents/nRF5_SDK_Mesh_v0.9.2-Alpha/examples/light_control/client/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

I am building on linux using Cmake version 3.7.2.

What am i doing wrong? I have no previous experience using Cmake, so it might be something trivial.

Did you change anything in any of the CMakeLists.txt files?

Hi Hvem02,

Looks like you might be invoking CMake from the examples folder. You should invoke it from a build folder in the nRF5_SDK_Mesh_v0.9.2-Alpha root folder.

Example:

nRF5_SDK_Mesh_v0.9.2 $ mkdir build && cd build
nRF5_SDK_Mesh_v0.9.2/build $ cmake ..
nRF5_SDK_Mesh_v0.9.2/build $ make

Best,
Thomas

No, i have not. Thats also what puzzles me, shouldn't it compile from start without any modifications?

Thank you Thomas. That fixed the problem.
