Using SdFat with BluePill STM32

I cannot build the SD card example:
https://github.com/greiman/SdFat/tree/master/examples/SdInfo
for Stm32F103
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/Arduino_STM32
in Visual Studio.
It builds OK in the Arduino 1.8.4 environment but produces the attached verbose in VM:

I dont think its anything wrong with VM but any advice would be welcome.

Jim

I had a reply from the Arduino for STM32 board as follows:
http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2674
It seems that your VM is missing a lot of include paths.
Compare the Arduino IDE verbose output with your path parameters and then you will find out what is missing...
A hint: look for core folders.

I will investigate this but I am not sure what or how to include the missing folders.
Arduino 1.8.4 verbose attached.

Okay thanks will look at it. That area has been expanding in the arduino world.

I had another suggestion from stm32duino.
"You have to include {build.core.path} to the upload.pattern."
Unfortunately I dont know how to do that, any suggestions.

I've looked into this and need a bit more info.

1)

The output you provided from visual micro was a cached compile so does not show the compiling of core or libraries. Can you please click "Solution>Clean" then build and post the output again.

2)

Quote:
"You have to include {build.core.path} to the upload.pattern."


Visual Micro reads the patterns from the platform files same as arduino ide so that path should already be included during upload.

All the verbose output doesn't fit in insert code so I inserted a file.

If you make another build in the arduino ide and keep it open, copy the line after "compiling sketch .." into a new .bat file and then run it from cmd.exe does it build?

This is an example from your verbose output of what to expect but arduino uses a different temp folder each time it opens so this command will no longer be valid (note the last two paths)

Not sure what the instructions do but I copied the line after  "compiling sketch .." into Jimmy.bat on my desktop and then in the command window I got output as below. 
The following files were updated but I am not sure if the build process was completed.
p" -o p.o"

Thanks. Yes that runs the compiler command and recreates the .o output file.

I spent some time looking at this and all of the library paths are correct and as far as I can see the compiler line from the visual micro "building project code" verbose output has the same as the arduino version. So it's a strange one that is for sure.

I will try to compare again this weekend.

A bit more information:
I installed the hardware using the Arduino environment rather than in VB.

Yes I noticed you had two copies of the STM below the hardware folder.

Visual Micro installs are the same as the arduino ide so it doesn;t matter. However having two copies installed does add to the confusion.

I replicated the issue with the line that builds the project.ino code. It's a line that as you know is isolated from the rest of the build and can be run standalone from a .bat. I  could not see a real difference between the command that visual micro produces and the command the arduino ide produces. Can you?

If not then next job is to review the differences between the .ino .cpp that is being built in the temp build folder.

I searched my computer and found only 1 instance of the C:\Users\james\Documents\Arduino\Hardware\Arduino_STM32\STM32F1

I couldnt see an equivelant line in the VB verbose, its a bit beyond my understanding at the moment.

As a matter of interest I installed Atmel Studio with VM and still get the same error.

Yes it's the same build system in both IDE's.

I am sorry I have not been able to look at this up till now. I will do over the next week. I believe the issue is the order of the include paths that visual micro ommitts during build but have yet to look into it..

Sorry for the delay. This is resolved in the next release. It was an interesting but annoying issue.

Visual Micro supports many arduino versions and in the past arduino used an automatic include "wprogram.h" from the old "wiring.org" days. Nowadays they use "Arduino.h" in the core folder but recently OEM hardware has included Arduino.h in deep sub folders below the core.

Visual Micro needed to determine if it should include wprogram.h or arduino.h in the temp compiler code. It looked for wprogram.h and if that file existed it used it otherwise it used arduino.h

The maple core of the STM32 you are using has both a wprogram.h and an arduino.h in "Hardware\Arduino_STM32GIT\STM32F1\cores\maple". 

So Visual Micro used the wprogram.h which does not define what is needed for arduino builds. The next release of visual micro uses the arduino.h if it exists, otherwise the wprogram.h if that exists otherwise defaults to the <arduino.h>. So now we can't use the wrong file.

Thanks for your patience and good reports.

OK Tim,  that seems to work perfectly but with some warnings which I have not had time to check yet.
I have attached my verbose output for your information: jimsverbose.txt

Thanks for all the effort, I am glad it wasn't something silly I had done.

Jim

Great. Yes the code has a lot of warnings, same in arduino ide if you have warnings enabled.

I think they can be ignored, we often see code that shows warnings.
