Thanks Carles,

That was indeed the issue.

---
thomasto@thomasto-VirtualBox:~/zephyrproject/zephyr$ cat `which west` | grep '#!'
#!/usr/bin/python3

and python3 was symlinked to python3.6 while "python" was using python3.7.

Built just fine now.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

 

Could it be that your /usr/bin/python is not the same python you used to install west? i.e. do you have multiple python installations on your system?

 

$ cat `which west` | grep '#!'

 

In my case this yields:

#!/usr/bin/python3

 

which matches my:

 

Found PythonInterp: /usr/bin/python3

Subject: [Zephyr-devel] Initial build errors

 

I'm just starting up my IAR porting effort again and thought I would just build a simple out of the box project with the standard tools, but I'm immediately running into issues.

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and have followed https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/getting_started/index.html

Looks like I'm missing some step.
