Hi, I'm trying to add the functionality of virtual serial device to my project (i'm using LPCOPEN and ea_devkit_1788_usblib_device).

So I took the files of the example "ea_devkit_1788_lpcusblib_VirtualSerialDevice" and put them to my project.

It gives me errors like this when compiling:

error: unknown type name 'USB_Descriptor_Configuration_Header_t'

This is define in StdDescriptors.h of the library "ea_devkit_1788_usblib_device" which I also included in my workspace.

I think I configured all the right way, the paths, the includes, the libraries, etc. I can't find what the problem could be and why It does not find the definitions.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks

Presumably it is failing because you have not setup the include paths correctly - otherwise it would find it, right?

If you add the Verbose (-v) option to the compiler settings, the compiler will display the paths it searches for include files.
