Allow Local Libraries breaks build

Hi.

VisualMicro version (from options menu) 1.1511.21
VisualMicro version (from extensions list) 1512.14.0
Visual Studio 2015

If I use option Allow Local Libraries (Tools -> Options -> Visual Micro -> Allow Local Libraries) build process breaks with following error:

Code
Select All
core.a(main.cpp.o)*:In function `main
main.cpp:undefined reference to `setup
main.cpp:undefined reference to `loop
collect2.exe*:error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error creating .elf


Once I switch off that option - sketch builds well

Hi,

Thanks for the message. That is an old option that needs to be removed.

Local sketch libraries are supported by default. You do not need to switch anything on.

To see the correct location to place libraries right click the project name in the solution explorer and click "Add>New Arduino Library". This will create a v2 format library in \src\_micro-api\libraries\libName

Old style (v1) and new style (v2) format libraries are supported.

Hope that helps

Thanks for answer.

I have tried that way before messing with "libraries option".

I use "Add New Arduino Library", it creates 2 files (.cpp +.h) in /src/_micro-api/libraries/NAME/src folder. Also it adds #include of newly created .h to my sketch

But it fails to compile with:
Code
Select All
TEST.ino:17:17: fatal error: RGB.h: No such file or directory
:#include "RGB.h"
:compilation terminated
Error compiling sketch sources

Thanks for clarity.

1)
Can you please post a screen shot of your solution with the RGB library that you have created. Please ensure the solution view shows the directory structure so I can see the folder structure with the RGB library sources.

Or email to info[at]visualmicro.com

2)
If you are a novice user that is simply trying to use the standard Arduino RGB library please tell me this so I can give you some alternative advice.

3)
If you have changed any of the Compatibility settings in the options? please tell me that you have done that. It affects the compilation of local libraries.

Thanks

It is not related to any code inside. I have made test with newly created empty sketch and empty local library.

Thanks. Switch on local libraries in the tools options. It was on by default and should be on.

Okay so remove the strange paths you have added to the options.

Oh, I didn't see that you had also switched off Compatibility>Compile ALL project folder sources

Please switch it back on

Thanks

Sorry, but the same error:

Code
Select All
core.a(main.cpp.o)*:In function `main
main.cpp:undefined reference to `setup
main.cpp:undefined reference to `loop
collect2.exe*:error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error creating .elf


Notice: After each options change I make full clean, VS restart and rebuild

The error suggests you don't have a setup() and loop() but it's in your picture

If you zip and email the "TestLocalLibrary" folder and all sub folder it might save us both some time Smiley

Thanks, I have sent project.

But there is no any special - just newly created sketch + newly created local library.
I did not write any line of custom code there

Thanks for the zip. Sorry no idea what the problem is. As you say it's a very simple project and there are plenty of people compiling that without issue.

Maybe try restarting Visual studio or the pc.

Failing that delete the visual micro registry key HKEY_CurrentUser\Software\Visual micro.

Then restart vs and re-enter your ide location but do not change any other settings.

Thanks
