Project exported to LPCXpresso fails to build with linker error

Hi,

I'm trying to build a project which I exported from the online IDE. I follow the instructions on the following page: https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Exporting-to-Eclipse-IDEs and try to build the imported project in LPCXpresso (LPCXpresso v7.6.2 [Build 326] [2015-02-02]). It fails with the following error:

14:52:26 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project fvb_spi_test ****
make -r all 
Building target: fvb_spi_test.axf

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [fvb_spi_test.axf] Error 1

How can I solve this?

EDIT: this is the project I'm trying to export

Import programfvb_spi_test

Can you publish the program you are trying to export?

Hi Frank,

I was able to get it building with LPCXpresso. There is currently a bug with our exporter and build system that isn't bundling the built mbed library. I've submitted a pull request here: https://github.com/mbedmicro/mbed/pull/1030

Also, due to the limited flash size of the LPC824, your program above won't fit on the device.Here were the final statistics if you're interested:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  59796	   2224	    564	  62584	   f478	fvb_spi_test_lib.axf
