Cannot compile any nrf52840 examples in vs2017 community with visualgdb

[jake.d]

I don’t know a lot about makefiles and linkers here is the output from failed compile with all basic settings

Hi,

It looks like your Nordic BSP (located in %LOCALAPPDATA%) got corrupt – the gcc_startup_nrf52840.S file should normally be present. Please try reinstalling it via Tools->Options->Manage VisualGDB Packages.
