Building classic projects for microbit

[arekzaluski]

Building classic projects for Microbit doesn't seem to work.
I've tried to build https://developer.mbed.org/teams/BBC/code/microbit_blinky/?platform=Microbit and https://developer.mbed.org/teams/microbit/code/microbit-hello-world/ projects. Both of them are failing to build correctly.

The command I'm using is
mbed compile -t GCC_ARM -m NRF51_MICROBIT

Could you post the output that is associated with the failure after appending -v to the command line? It would help me root cause the problem you are having.

@theotherjimmy
Sure here is the output of
mbed compile -t GCC_ARM -m NRF51_MICROBIT -v

Potential micro:bit partner also ran into this... I cannot compile with ARMCC either.

Errors like this:

I looked into why blinky wasn't compiling, looks like the pinned release of the microbit didn't actually support GCC_ARM at the time, or at least it wasn't included in the release. It compiles ok for ARM.

If you update the mbed.bld file to the latest version (2e9cc70d1897), I can compile blinky for GCC_ARM.

I'm afraid I don't know much about the other example since it isn't using the official mbed release.

@bridadan Thanks. I was able to build microbit-blinky after updating mbed.bld to the latest version.

@arekzaluski Did this fix the issue? If so, are you happy to close this?

Closing this as there is no activity. Please reopen if the issue persists.

Re-opening this issue as it is still apparent with the promoted micro:bit examples being run locally with gcc.

E.g. this example:

https://os.mbed.com/teams/BBC/code/microbit-component-display/

Fails in mbed-cli with the following:

Updating to the latest revision of the microbit library doesn't fix the issue.

@jaustin Can you review this issue? The libraries are 2 years old by looks of it.

@theotherjimmy looked into this a while back, and I thought he had success with building the older programs. There was an inconsistency between the online compiler and the offline one WRT armcc, but that shouldn't be a factor here.... Jimmy, did you bump into any of the issues like Rob has?
