Missing files error on CMSIS DSP pack on Cubeide

[AlexES]

Hello guys. 
I'm currently trying to use the dsp libraries of the cmsis pack with no success.
My device is a WBA55CG nucleo board and the version of my ide is 1.19. I tried to download the cmsis package manually, by selecting embedded software package maneger and then from local/url and successfully installed the packages. (CMSIS 5.9). I enabled core and selected CMSIS from source and dsp. I enabled dsp and core on mx configuration->middleware and hit generate. I tried to inlcuded the arm_math lib on my program to see if the installation was successful and if cube could build my program..... aaaand all hell broke loose.

 The files are succesfully generated but there seems to be a linker error? 
Any advice would be welcomed

No, those are Compiler errors - not Linker errors.

The Compiler is telling you that it can't find the #included .c files.

Do the named .c files actually exist in your Project?

If they do, check your Include Paths ...

BTW: better to include the errors as text rather than a screenshot:

Hey! Thanks for the swift reply. The files do exist and the appropriate include paths also exist.

[Andrew Neil]

If the files do exist and the Compiler is not finding them, then the Include Paths can't be (quite) right - the whole point of the Include Paths is to allow the Compiler to find files included via #include ...
