undefined reference to HAL_TIM* functions

I'm having a problem where the linked complains to me with undefined reference to `HAL_TIM_PWM_Init' erros. The objects that it complains are not defined are HAL TIM based ones such as HAL_TIM_PWM_Init or HAL_TIM_IRQHandler. There is a source file with these functions defined that is compiled "stm32f7xx_hal_tim.c" but for some reason the linker still complains.

Here is some source code (the last line gives me the error):

#include <string.h>
#include "stm32f7xx_hal.h"
#include "stm32f7xx_hal_tim.h"
#include "ws2812b.h"
 
extern WS2812_Struct ws2812b;
 
// Define source arrays for my DMAs
uint32_t WS2812_IO_High[] = { WS2812B_PINS };
uint32_t WS2812_IO_Low[] = {WS2812B_PINS << 16};
 
// WS2812 framebuffer - buffer for 2 LEDs - two times 24 bits
uint16_t ws2812bDmaBitBuffer[24 * 2];
 
// Gamma correction table
const uint8_t gammaTable[] = {
 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1,

	// This computation of pulse length should work ok,
	// at some slower core speeds it needs some tuning.
	tim_period = SystemCoreClock / 800000; // 0,125us period (10 times lower the 1,25us period to have fixed math below)
	uint32_t cc1 = (10 * tim_period) / 36;
	uint32_t cc2 = (10 * tim_period) / 15;
 
	Tim2Handle.Instance = TIM2;

	Tim2Handle.Init.ClockDivision = TIM_CLOCKDIVISION_DIV1;
	Tim2Handle.Init.CounterMode = TIM_COUNTERMODE_UP;
	HAL_TIM_PWM_Init(&Tim2Handle);
 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Make sure to enable TIM functions in stm32f7xx_hal_conf.h

I enabled the timer through the stm32f7xx_hal_conf.h. It works now! Thanks!!!!!
