Mbed OS

I use mbed-os 5.15.1, python 3.7.0
and
mbed-cli 1.10.4
mbed-cloud-sdk 2.0.8
mbed-flasher 0.10.1
mbed-greentea 1.7.4
mbed-host-tests 1.5.10
mbed-ls 1.7.11
mbed-os-tools 0.0.14

toolchain is GCC_ARM and platform is LPC1768.
What compiled under linux with other versions fine now yields
$ mbed compile

What happened and how to resolve?

Hi Ernst,

do you see the same issue on later versions of mbed-os? E.g 5.15.4 or 6.1 ? It’s possible there may be an issue which has been fixed in a later release.
