Hi folks - total newb to this stuff, apology in advance if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything that led me to a solution. Trying to build my 1st project in Atmel Studio 6.2.993 Beta. I have 2 projects in the solution - one called "core" and one called "Color_Mix_2". "core" includes a library file called "libcore.a".

When I try to build, libcore.a gets built just fine

Quote:
Finished building target: libcore.a Done executing task "RunCompilerTask".

But then, when it tries to build "Color_Mix_2", it barfs -
Quote:
make: *** No rule to make target `../core/Debug/libcore.a', needed by Color_Mix_2.elf'. Stop.
Done executing task "RunCompilerTask" -- FAILED.
.

The weird thing is that, in the navigator window in Studio, I can see that "libcore.a" is shown as an output file in project "core", and NOT shown in project "Color_Mix_2". So I ask - why is the compiler wanting to build "libcore.a" AGAIN, after it just succeeded?

I found the makefile that Studio generated, but it looks like an empty little toy template, rather than the makefiles I've seen elsewhere. Should I post it? I looked at gcc help, it ALMOST helps me, but not quite...

Grateful for any tips and help, paul

It's surely a linker INPUT to the second project and the message is basically saying it cannot be found. Is -L used to tell the linker where to look? How about posting the entire build dialog?

BTW as you are clearly trying to build Arduino code have you explored the Arduino add on in the extension gallery, while I haven't used it I assume the intention is that it builds without needing to create libcore.a separately.

Wow, mucho thanko for the prompt reply, clawson! I checked out the Studio extensions - interesting, it finds the Visual Micro IDE called "the Arduino IDE fo Atmel Studio". I have NOT tried that, will check it out.

I DON'T find a -L option in the build output. Here's what it spewed forth (skipping a lot of preliminary stuff building core.a):

Maybe in the Studio IDE Toolchain options under Miscellaneous I should add the -L. Will try this. Thank y'all for your collective patience with newbs!

You cut off too much from the front of that. The whole point was that I wanted to see where it WAS building libcore.a.
