Including External MBED Library Fails Compilation

[jcady]

My target is the NRF51-Dongle (I know it isn't supported, but I added support for it, it's pretty close to the NRF51822).

I am able to compile just fine using gcc4mbed in Eclipse with a simple project, like HelloWorld. My project is a Bluetooth LE project, so I need to include the BLE_API and NRF51822 libraries that MBED makes. The issue is that whenever I put those directories into my build directory (without even calling) and attempt to compile, the build fails with a slew of errors. I've attached the full output of the errors below.

As a test, I exported the BLE_HeartRate test program, which includes those two libraries, for the NRF51-Dongle target to GCC. I made a makefile project with the MBED generated makefile in Eclipse. I set the path for arm-none-eabi and it compiled successfully, libraries in all.

It's nice that MBED can export straight to GCC and have everything work out of the box. But I really don't want to have to copy everything to the online IDE and re-export every time I want to add a file, just so it can generate a proper makefile. It also doesn't seem to support incremental builds (it builds everything every time, unlike gcc4mbed), which is a bit of a pain. Are those the main advantages of using gcc4mbed over exporting to gcc from the MBED online compiler?

Do you know how I can include the BLE_API and NRF51822 libraries and have them build properly with gcc4mbed?

gcc4mbed samples/ folder has a BLEHearRate sample already. Can you start with that first?

[jcady]

Well, would you look at that. I completely missed that sample. That looks like it will be of some help!

It looks like the libs are about a month or so old, though. So it's still a little worth it to me to figure out how to drop in the newest ones myself. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

[adamgreen]

Maybe you need to match the mbed SDK in external with the BLE / nRF51822 libs? Are you able to build the existing sample for your new NRF51-Dongle?

[jcady]

Hmmmm, that is a good idea. I'll give that a shot.

The sample built no problem.

[jcady]

Looks like the problem persists, even with the latest mbed.

[adamgreen]

If you pull down the latest mbed SDK into the external directory of gcc4mbed, make sure that you do a "make clean-all" before attempting the first build. That will make sure that any old files get cleaned out.

[jcady]

I didn't do that, but the build files for mbed rely in the mbed directory itself, right? I did delete the entire mbed directory and replace it with the one I pulled down, so that shouldn't be the issue.

[adamgreen]

Ok. I guess I don't know what is causing the problem then. It sounds like you have done what I would have done.

I can look at it when I update gcc4mbed to a newer version of the mbed SDK later in the year and run the accompanying test pass.

[jcady]

Sounds good to me, thanks for the support. For now, the sample fulfills my needs, so I'm satisfied!

[adamgreen]

I was able to reproduce this problem when I upgraded to the latest mbed sources and I now have a fix in the working branch with commit 61ae5063846cc8412890e051f0a7dd59967ce8ff. This should be merged into the master branch soon. Thanks for reporting.

[adamgreen]

Fix now merged into master.
