Cannot compile in Linux

Mbed OS Hello world!

When I try to compile in WSL2 I get:

samlef@DESKTOP-14FHLC1:~/git/hmipanel$ mbed-tools compile --clean --mbed-target NUCLEO_G474RE --toolchain GCC_ARM
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think the reason here was that the build folder was created in a docker session and was root owned.

Possible solutions are:

  • Delete the build folder /cmake_build and compile again outside the docker
sudo rm -rf /cmake_build 
mbed-tools compile --mbed-target NUCLEO_G474RE --toolchain GCC_ARM
  • Claim acces rights with and rebuild:
sudo chown <username>:<username> -R cmake_build
mbed-tools compile --mbed-target NUCLEO_G474RE --toolchain GCC_ARM
