How to include a downloaded library into STM32CubeIDE?

[DocAlex]

Hello,

 

I have downloaded a library containing two files: the .h file and the .c  file:

 

I used drag and drop and dropped the folder into the driver folder of my project. I selected them to be a reference and a relative path.

 

Then I selected the compiler include path:

 

and the linker path

The IDE is showing the resource correctly linked to the project:

when I build the project I still get the error message:

What is wrong with my approach?

How do I set the paths correctly?

As a suggestion: I have found many users struggling with this. I would like to recommend a dialog for dropping a folder into the project with predefined links to the new folder.

Regards

It's in "<project>/Drivers/Si7021". Your paths assume it's in "<project>/Si7021".

 

To keep consistency, you could add "../Drivers/Si7021" as the path.

Thank you very much!

Another issue was that I had an include "-l" which was expecting an archive.

Unfortunately Eclipse is too complicated for beginners. 

What you want here is "Build variables", not "linked resources".

Also, what you call a library is just an additional source file for the purpose of the project. So you don't add it to the libraries & library search path. Libraries are ".a" files.
