How to *add* an nRF5 SDK library to an *existing* project.

[awneil]

I still can't see anything in the SDK documentation which tells me how to add an nRF5 SDK library to an existing project.

Specifically:

• What source file(s) do I need to add to the project?
• What include path(s) do I need to add to the project?
• What do I need to add to the SDK configuration header file, sdk_config.h?
• Any other dependencies?

The examples aren't so helpful with this, because it is not clearly identified what is there purely for the sake of the example, and what is specifically required by the library.

The answer to my previous related question didn't help as it addressed only usage of the library once added - not the above questions

You can look at the makefile of the examples.  All the require paths and sources are listes in the makefile for each project.

See the OP:

And, anyhow, we shouldn't have to be reverse-engineering this stuff - it should be properly documented!

the documentation is here infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp

Unhelpful.

That's just the top level index. Where, exactly, in all that lot will I find the answer to the OP questions?

I certainly don't see it in the FStorage documentation:

http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.0.0/lib_fstorage.html?cp=4_0_0_3_53

Nor even any general guidance at the top of the 'Libraries' section
