Yesterday, after finishing the feasibility part of a project involving TI's BLE stack (which required to be done in Windows for lack of Linux support) I wanted to move back to my usual environment and relax :)
I found what seems a recent wiki from TI explaining how to do it and it was simple enough to try it. I followed the described method and was able to build the stack and the app for SimplePeripheral and check they work, using a SmartRF06 with the CC2650-Em cards.
Then, I decided to do the same with the Central project and this time I am getting errors in both cases related to the size of the code:

May this be related to a difference between the Windows and Linux compilers (hopefully not!) or is there something I am missing?
Thank you,
