Add new C file to my STM32 project in VS Code

If I add a new .c file to my project in core/src it does not get recognized and is not complled. How do I get it into the make list?

Thanks

Hi @fritz3917,

There is no managed build, so you must define your new source file manually, preferably by editing the top-level CMakeLists.txt file:

# Add sources to executable/library
target_sources(<PROJECT_NAME> PRIVATE
 # User defined sources
 core/src/newFile.c
)

<PROJECT_NAME> to be replaced according to your project (see used value from the cmake files).
