Building for RAK4631

[bbbakke]

Take it easy on me, new to LoRa, Meshtastic, and PlatformIO. However, I've been writing code in C for embedded systems for 35+ years.

Trying to following the build instruction from the website for the RAK4631. Additional info for perspective; I'm on a MacBook pro M3 running VSCode, all extensions disabled accept for what is needed for PlatformIO, C/C++, etc.

If, for PlatformIO: Pick Project Environment, I choose rak4631 and then run PlatformIO: Build, the build is successful.

However, if I choose rak4631_dbg for the PlatformIO: Pick Project Environment selection, the build fails with the error message cannot find -lalgobsec.

Initial google searches didn't turn up anything. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Well, here is some info for the RAK4631 developers.

I first built for rak4631_dbg target, because after all I am an embedded developer, and I want to be able to load and step through code. When this failed I then I built for the rak4631 target and it built fine as reported in the initial post.

After posting the message, knowing it will take some time to get responses, I went back to the rak4631_dbg target to try to figure out the failure. Now it builds fine. So, with no further information, I am guessing that the rak4631 creates something that the rak4631_dbg target needs but doesn't know how to build/create.

So, I withdraw my question and, instead, offer this information up to the maintainers. Do what you will with it.
