Hello,
I am trying to compile my project, which includes a library file (.a). I get multiple errors about "undefined reference". See image:

.a-file in project tree (from same folder as the make-file's linking):

I have a makefile that works:
PROJECT_NAME := ble_app_buttonless_dfu_pca10040_s132 TARGETS := nrf52832_xxaa OUTPUT_DIRECTORY := build SDK_ROOT := ../nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a PROJ_DIR := . $(OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)/nrf52832_xxaa.out: \ LINKER_SCRIPT := ble_app_buttonless_dfu_gcc_nrf52.ld #

But I want to use Segger Embedded Studio, not the make-file.
I suspect I am not providing the correct flags to the linker or whats the issue?
Thanks in advance!
