I’m using STM32F103 with FreeRTOS and uGFX. uGFX asks me to include their makefile but I don’t know how to do it without breaking current project structure.

<h3>Makefiles</h3>
The uGFX library comes with a built-in Makefile system (which is not mandatory to be used, see Single File Inclusion below). If your IDE / Project allows to use external, existing Makefiles, we highly recommend using this method of adding uGFX to your project.

Step-by-Step guide:
1. Set the GFXLIB variable to the path pointing to the µGFX library root directory
2. Include the main µGFX Makefile (/ugfx/gfx.mk)
3. Add GFXSRC to the sources variable/list
4. Add GFXINC to the include paths variable/list
5. Include additional Makefiles of the µGFX library to include board files, drivers, …

Hi,

We would not recommend just including a 3rd-party Makefile directly into your main VisualGDB project, as it may cause some variable conflicts and other strange bugs.

We would instead recommend creating a new static library project for the GFX library, adding its sources to the project, specifying the include directories via the VisualGDB Project Properties, ensuring it builds and referencing it from the main project. If this does not work, please share the error messages you are getting and we will help you resolve them.

If you want to try including the Makefile nonetheless, you can edit the project’s Makefile as follows (after the normal SOURCEFILES := … line):
```
GFXLIB := <path to uGFX>
include <uGFX makefile>
SOURCEFILES += $(GFXSRC)
INCLUDE_DIRS += $(GFXINC)
```
