Dependencies issues after importing a 3rd party example

[MikeLemon]

Hello, 

Every time I try to run any example I download online for my nrf52832 board I get dependencies errors after locating the project folder to the sub "examples" folder in the SDK or modifying the emProject file in text editor replacing all the "../../../../../../" with my SDK directory it shows me errors of sort: 

What am I doing wrong? 

How do you even run imported examples and how that whole directory system work?

It almost seems like for every single move forwards I move 1000 backwards(as an experienced products designer) and would like to reach the "REAL" knowledge places that the some people here on earth use to program the chip and understand how the system works if there are any...

Could you start over again and just leave the .emproject file as it is by default. The easiest way of adding source files into your project is to do the following:

• Open your project in SES
• In the project explorer window right-click on one of the folders and click on "Add Existing File.."
  • Click on the folder that is appropriate for the source (.c) file you're going to add. E.g. if you are going to add a library, then you should click on nRF_Libraries

However, I have some comments about your modifications to the .emproject file:

• Under <folder Name="nRF_Log"> the path does not seem right, since /C: occurs two times:
  • <file file_name="C:/Nrf_Env/nRF5_SDK_15/components/libraries /log/src/C:/Nrf_Env/nRF5_SDK_15/_rtt.c" />
  • <file file_name="C:/Nrf_Env/nRF5_SDK_15/components /libraries/log/src/C:/Nrf_Env/nRF5_SDK_15/_serial.c" />
• Why do you put in the complete path instead of using the initial approach with relative paths?

Best regards,

Simon
