Can't manage to compile Remora with mbed-cli

[henrikssn]

I cloned the repository into a local folder, followed the instructions to install mbed and then run mbed compile

Any idea why it won't compile? Do you have any concrete description of your setup so that I can replicate it?

Yes, don't use cli, use Mbed Studio. You need to set a target to define which board to compile for.

[henrikssn]

Thanks, I'll see if I can install that instead. Just to be clear, there is no way to compile this with the CLI, right?

[scottalford75]

There would be a way, setting the target is key. I would hope that the custom targets are visible in the cli version.

[benagricola]

For mbed-cli to see custom targets it looks like the custom_targets.json file must be inside the mbed-os directory in the project root.
