How to add a custom header and c file into a project.

[_RK_]

Hi,

I have a ncs project which currently has only the main.c file.

I want to create a header file and the c file to be included in the main. 

What's the recommended way to do this.

I tried creating them manually in the src folder - failed.

I tried creating separate include folder for the header files - failed.

TIA.

Hello!

For one you need to include the c-file in your CMakeLists.txt file, by adding: "target_sources(app PRIVATE src/[filename])", and then re-run CMake by either using the 'Project' drop-down menu, or reopening the project. Then the files should be visible in SES, and be a part of your project.

I recommend taking a look at this tutorial that explains all of this in further detail. Part 2 may be particularly interesting.

Let me know if this didn't help, or if there is anything else!

Best regards,

Håkon

Hi Elfving,

Thanks for your response. WIth the hlep of 

target_sources as you mentioned and target_include_directories for inclusions of the .h files i was able to include them in the build.

Cheers.
