Use system environment variable as macro for build

Kr51K · Feb 3rd 2021, 1:03pm

Hi,

I would like to build my project both on windows and linux. This works well with exceptionof the SDK path. Currently I have defined a project macro SDK_ROOT that points to the installes SDK version. On my windwos-PC this points to C:\nRF... on linux to /home/...
Is it possible to use a system environment variable for this instead of this project macro? I didn't find anything about this in the documentation, but maybe there is a solution.

Thanks and best regards

Hi,

you can use so called macros to get env. infos. Ref. to attached screenshot.
What do you mean with SDK path?
The path to the toolchain?

Hello,

yes, I know this, But I want to use a windows/linux system variable. Currently I have a macro defined:
SDK_ROOT=C:\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345
so I can include files from e.g.
$(SDK_ROOT)/components/toolchain/cmsis/include

But I don't want to set this macro inside the solution but want to use a system variable. The reason is that I build the project both on windows and linux and keep the same projekt file for the solution.
