BLUENRG demo code not compiling

Hi.

I have downloaded theSTM32CubeExpansion_BLE1_V3.2.0 folder from the STM website and am trying to compile the demo project. I am using Keil V5. I have copied the files over to where all my other Keil projects are and have included the relative header paths. When I build it I get over 200 errors. I'm sure the code is fine and it maybe something to do with folder locations or something like that. Is there any special procedure for copying projects and where to copy them to?

Thanks.

That very often means that you have one actual error, and the other 199 are just consequences.

Tackle the first-reported error first ...

Keil projects typically have relative paths so the project needs to be placed at the same depth or significant work will be required to adjust ALL the internal paths, and the Include Paths.

So does it build if you leave everything in its original location ?

The first error I get is ' identifier 'tListNode' is undefined '. This is referring to a struct defined as:

typedef struct _tListNode {

struct _tListNode * next; struct _tListNode * prev;}tListNode, *pListNode;

Not sure why its not compiling though.

If it were not seeing a used header, you would be getting a 'can't open whatever.h' error before this.

Use find-in-files to locate where it should be defined.

Check for missing or incorrect command-line defines ...

If the project relative paths are incorrect surely the caution icon will let you know. I originally did have those but changed the paths which removed the error icon. Those this not suffice?

I actually edited my reply slightly just as you replied (sorry). I'm not familiar with the command-line defines you refer to. What do you mean by this?

Options -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor Symbols -> Define

Stuff passed to the C compiler at run time, ie -DUSE_HAL_DRIVER

You have 200 unspecified errors, stabbing in the dark here....
