Hi,

 

You're missing a ${ZEPHYR_BASE} definition. Do you use west?

 

This often confused me too. So I looked into adding a better error message but I couldn't find an implementation that wouldn't have to be duplicated in every single sample and test. That must be why there isn't any.

 

CMake doesn't support $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE:-zephyr_base_is_missing} out of the box; please prove me wrong. Zephyr has tons of advanced CMake features available in.... ${ZEPHYR_BASE}/cmake

Off-topic PS: cmake has a new -B option that saves changing directory, see example in https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/15315

Subject: [Zephyr-users] C Compiler "/opt/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/arm-zephyr-eabi-gcc" does not compile

 

I am new to Zephyr trying to build some of the sample programs for a bbc_microbit.
I get the following error message from the compiler (I installed the 0.10 level of the Zephyr SDK on Windows 10 subsystem for Linux running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS).
It looks like the compiler that comers with the SDK is not working.
Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
