How do you add a new file to Segger ?

[Bndit]

I am pulling my hair, literally , I just can't get this company ! I am working with 4 IDE's in parallel and none of them has this stupidity .

1. I right click->add a new file-> C file
2. same for .h file
3. In the project main.c file I try to include them : #include "source.h"

"No such file or directory" // he can't find the files that I see right in front of my face

So you have to add them to preprocessor some how right ? So I have a custom folder in my project with my files, how I force Segger to see the whole folder so I can keep adding source files and he can see them?

What are the exact steps to be able to add files to the project ? 4 hours of searching , this is insane.

WHY THEY DID THIS SO HARD ????????????????

Sounds like the path where your source.h is located is not in the "User Include Directories".

Make sure that you have selected the project in the file explorer on the left.(click it once). Then click on the "Project" on the tab on the top, and click on "Edit Options". Under C/C++ click on "Preprocessor", and add the path to the "User Include Directories".

Sometimes you cannot find the answer to your exact problem on the internet. So you have to find the solution yourself using logic and resonating, and you get better at that with more experience. If you still can't find the solution, you ask on Devzone :). Here is the logic I used to find the answer:

1. I tested what you did with creating the files with the project inspector, and I see that the files that are created is located in the project folder itself. When I get the error "No such file or directory"", I know that the compiler does not know the location of the files.
2. Where does the Segger compiler look for the file location ? => in the "User Include Directories". That means that the project folder itself is not located in the "User Include Directories". In the "User Include Directories" there is a option to "Show Macros". I found the $(ProjectDir) there. :)
