Precompiled Libraries in SES Projects

[Atoo508]

Hi, I am trying to include a pre-compiled, third-party library from a sensor vendor into some code for the nRF52832. The vendor's package includes two header files and a .lib. I was wondering how to go about including this in an SES project?

Edit: Upon further investigation, the API has solutions for GCC and armcc. The GCC directory for the Cortex M4 contains the two headers and a .a file.

Hi.

You should only have to include the .a file the same way as a .c file:

You can read on the Infocenter about adding source files and header files.

Best regards,

include the .a file

Atoo508 said it's a .lib file 

GCC does tend to use .a - hence the question whether it is a GCC-compatible library ...

Hi again.

My mistake, I read the question a bit too quick and read ".a lib".

It is as awneil says in his first reply, the library has to be a GCC-compatible library in order for this to work.

Best regards,

Andreas
