Help when importing library (and it's dependencies) to an existing project

[JayDev]

Hello!  I'm somewhat new to SES and still trying to understand the program a bit.  Some of the features are a bit less intuitive than others. 

Right now, I'm actually not having many problems with the code itself as much as I am with how to add libraries to my project.  For instance, I started a project from an example and I've added additional functionality to the project.  I have it working with a few different sensors using TWI/I2C. 

I am now adding ADC to my project.  To get this working, I ran into several instances of statements that don't exist.  I ended up going into the config file and adding a lot of code from the other project, which seems to have helped most my issues. 

The issue I am currently having is that I can't seem to find a way to import a library with all its dependencies.  For instance, below is an example of a currently working project:

As you can see, each of the modules (specifically the nrf_pwr_mgmt.c library) is already in the other project, complete with all it's dependencies. 

I'm now right clicking and adding an existing file, selecting the *.c and *.h files and it will import those files in, but none of their dependencies:

Now when I try to compile the project, I'll get an error about a missing file that I need to be included in order to get the project to compile:

What's the easiest way to transfer an entire library and it's dependencies?

Please let me know when you get the chance.  Thanks!

Hi Jay, 

What's the easiest way to transfer an entire library and it's dependencies?

We usually suggest to duplicate and develop from the example project. Also, see the Adding files documentation.

That's what I did.  I started with an example project but that didn't have everything I needed in it, so I needed to take files from other example projects, which means I need to add them to this project. 

That link gave me info on how to add files (which I demonstrated above that I've actually already done).  What I need to know is how do I add the library files and all their dependencies?  That power management library has 60 dependencies and should generate a *.o file in the output folder.  The other example projects have it already setup to provide this.  Is there not a documented way to add a library to a project?  I assumed I could right click on the library folder and "add library" but there doesn't seem to be that option.

I think I found a solution.  Turns out I need to open the *.emProject and add the paths to the c_user_include_directories, and then make sure they're added to the library section.  That seemed to work for me. 

Hopefully, this will help someone else as well!
