Unable to compile sketches including additonal libs

hey
Im unable to compile sketches that point to any additional arduino libs(e.g. streaming etc), getting error: 
Streaming.h : No such file or directory.

All the sketch examples work ok as long as the sketches dont point to any non-defualt arduino library. The code itself is ok, since it compiles fine in the original arduino ide.  

setup:
VS 2012 ultimate(also tested in 2012 pro, ultimate-same errors)
windows 7
Visual micro 1.1212.30

any help will be appreciated

Hi, 

So libs in myDocuments\Arduino\Libraries do not compile?

Questions

1)
Have you run arduino ide once?

2)
On the PROJECT menu at the top of the Visual Studio Ide is "Add new arduino library". Can you see libraries under the "User" section of this menu?

Thanks

sketches using these libraries do not compile.

nope, only under the "core" section

PS: i have been using VM for a year without any problems. This has started after installing fresh OS.

Okay so vm cannot find or is having a problem with a user library.  

Please switch on "tools>visual micro>user interface>trace" and post the output window contents after vs re-start

Thanks for all the info

here it is:

Create UI command items      Begin
CreateCommandBarItems      Begin AddinVer=1.1212.30
Get Bar      Tools
Create Bar      Tools>Arduino
Adding      Tools>Ports
Adding      Tools>Other Ports
Adding      Tools>Programmers
Adding      Tools>Using Programmer
Adding      Tools>Burn Bootloader
Get      CustomToolBarObjects
Adding      UI Menu-Board-Items
Adding      UI Menu-SerialPort-Items
Adding      ToolBar-Lib-Items
Added      Library names to UI
Create UI command items      End

I hope we will figure out whats goin on, since VM makes my life much easier.

I have tried all versions available for download, but none of them work. Do you think it would b possible to get some of the older versions(beginning of 2012)?? I dont remember which one i had, but it must have been from beginning of 2012.

please let me know asap
thanks

This code hasn't changed so will be a problem in the older version. I'll add some more trace messages over the next few days so that we can see what is going wrong. I can see in the trace that it isn't trying to load user libs so must be hitting some other problem earlier on.

For now copy/move your user libs to the arduinoIDE/Libraries folder. They will show up in the Core libraries list, if not I need to know the names of your user libs so I can get them and replicate the issue.

It's annoying but is going to be something simple

Q: When you select File>Open>Arduino Sketch. Which folder does the "open file" dialog position at?

yes, i have had them in the /Libraries folder since the beginning. I can see all of them under the "core" list. The code auto-completion works as well, which indicates that it reads the files. It "just" doesnt not compile.

A:I suppose u r referring to VS(not arduino IDE), file>open>arduino project points at "C:\Users\userName\Documents\Arduino"


I very appreciate your effort to solve this problem.

Got to go out for the rest of the day but I think I know what the problem is

User libs are normally placed in SketchFolder\Libraries and core in ArduinoIde\Libraries

It doesn't matter where you put them but when In core Vm doesn't know they are not core.

So the problem is something else and I have an outstanding bug that vm fails to compile libraries if an example folder below the library contains an example with the same name as the current sketch

Vm should not be looking below each lib for more code so that is the bug.

I think that if you remove the examples from below the library that is failing or rename your sketch then the problem will be fixed

You can rename the sketch in vs by right clicking the master "sketch".ino and selecting rename. Vm will prompt you the rest of the way

I have tried all your suggestions, but none of them worked. Still the same:/.

just a quick update.

The following setup works ok:
visual studio 2010 ultimate
visual micro v21(trace output)

This doesnt change the fact that i would like to get it workin in VS 2012:)

When you tried 1.0.3 did you alter the vm options path to the ide?

Its all good now. VM(1.1212.30) works in 2012 for me now. Even though i have tried before and it didnt work, now it does. I must have mixed up different version of arduino,VS and VM.

Thanks for letting me know, that's easily done when installing new machines Smiley
