I'm using Eclipse IDE C/C++ (version: 2021-06 (4.20.0)) with IDF plugging and I would like to use external libraries besides of ESP-IDF libraries. I read this IDE version doesn't include a menú option to add library paths, and if want to use external libraries I must créate a folder into my Project and copy them in it, and finally modify CMakeLists.txt file to include the following code line: set(COMPONENT_ADD_INCLUDEDIRS "../folder_name").

When I compile an example which includes a function which belongs to an external library I get the error "undefined reference to 'function_name'.

Are correctly the steps that I followed or there is another way to add external libraries?

Thank you for your reply.

It seems that you're using CMake to build the program, so the question is actually off-topic for Eclipse CDT.

To include an external module or library, you need to do two things:

- tell the compiler how to compile proper calls to the module. This is done by including the header file to the compilation,

- tell the linker where to get the library code from. This is done by adding the module object code or library code to the linker arguments.

If I interpreted your question properly, you have done the first thing, but not the second one. Please get the CMake documentation to see how to add the library to your CMakelists.txt.
