^ To print variables in cmake

Note that the following post has a cool answer which involves a cmake macro to print all variables known to a given cmake invocation or use, and also a more simple answer to print one specific variable:


A modified generic.cmake file, changes address one or more unset variables and solved build error on newest Zephyr work station:

set_ifndef(CC gcc)

## 2022-03-03 - Ted moving this cmake function call beyond locally
##  added variable assignements:

## find_program(CMAKE_C_COMPILER ${CROSS_COMPILE}${CC}   PATHS ${TOOLCHAIN_HOME} NO_DEFAULT_PATH)

^ To Specify Source Dirs and Library Directories to Linker


^ Cmake Functions

An interesting pattern search in Zephyr 3.2.0 source tree and associated third party libraries is `$ grep -nr ExternalProject_Add ./*`, which reveals which projects and locations in Zephyr's source tree this cmake function is called. This function is needed when building multicore Zephyr apps. There is a detailed document on `ExternalProject_Add()` at the Kitware public github repository:

When attempting to switch Zephyr sdk of original latest 2021 kionix-driver-demo, from Nordic ncs SDK to Zephyr RTOS Project itself, and a more recent release of Zephyr RTOS, get following error early early in build process:
