Hi, I am interested in building your repo but it does not seem to be a standard Mbed project setup and I am not sure how to build. Please can you provide some more set instruction please. Thanks Mark

Hi Mark,

Sorry I’m just getting to this. You are correct that this project does not currently use the Mbed CLI. To build it, you need a version of make. If you can tell me what OS you’re using, I can work on providing better instructions.

I’m open to suggestions on ways to improve the build system to make it easier for others to get started.

Hi, I kinda figured out that it will not work on windows. Seems there is a known problem with command line lengths passed to the compiler. I managed to start a build by running "make build" command down in the "app/peripheral_test" folder but it fails with "directory not found". Googling this I found lots of problems with command line length of 32K being exceeded which I believe is happening here. A latest fix (which I am not sure you have) was to change the paths in the .include_xxxx.txt file to relative pathing instead of absolute, which might help. Seems the change was only applied to building test files though so not sure it will help. Here is link to mbed issue: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/6968/commits/3e7fd9e0f001ab3eb7e86c23465ef79003c47e8a

Anyhow, have you done a build in Ubuntu? I have a windows Ubuntu WSL installed, but still having problems building. Will work on it a little more later. Thanks for following up. I closed the issue after I found the 32K window bug. Have a good new year Mark.
