[quote user="asmita_patil"]No such file or directory is still there[/quote]

I do not see any other possible reason for this error, then the litteral one, that the file is not there. So you need to make sure that the path is correct. If y ou want help to correct it, plese let us konw the following:

The exact full path to your project file.
the exact full path to liboberon_2.0.7.a.
Upload your full project file, so that we can see how you have modified to specify paths

Hi,

The error message means that the file cannot be found at the specified path, which is relative to the project file. What is the full path to your project file, and what is the full path to libnrf_cc310_0.9.12.a?

If you are relocating the project file outside the SDK it would make sense to not use a relative path like this, but instead specify an exact path, using a global macro to define the SDK root.

[quote userid="7377" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/51707/building-project-outside-sdk/207816"]I think the best way to do it is to edit the project file (.emProject) in a text editor[/quote]

I agree.

The project file is XML - there are plenty of text editors that recognise XML and will helpfully highlight the syntax for you ...

I use Notepad++

Hi,

I did not understand. Can you elaborate? Shoudl app_button.c not be in the SDK? If so, then you can just right-click on it and remove it. Then add the app_button.c you actually want there.

If you want to move your project out of the SDK tree, that is not something we have any examples for. However, I think the best way to do it is to edit the project file (.emProject) in a text editor and adjust the paths there. Then you can replace all the paths easily, and even use a global macro to hold the base folder so that you just need to change the macro to relocate the SDK folder. See this post.

yes i am now doing as you suggested....e.g i have folder called nrf_libraries in my solution...i set it to common config, it has one file named app_button.c. but when i try to open that file it is not opening, i have copied that file to another folder and have given that folder path to nrf_libraries folder....

as if you can see path to app_button.c is still that of sdk ...how can i change this path...can you suggest solution...that may solve my problem...thank you

What do you mean? You can edit everything in the project. But you need to remember that most of the configurations in the SDK project are common for both release and debug build configurations, so you need to select common instead of release in the build configuration drop-down when changing the settings:

what about macros??? m not able to change or edit them..can you suggest how to edit those macros.

You just type them in!

Or copy & paste, of course ...

And you probably want to do that in the 'Common' configuration ...
