Have a sketch in 1.5.8 which uses two external libraries and builds OK.

I imported this to VS2015 and the libraries via VisualMicro.AddLibrary.User. This also build OK  for a standard non-GDB project for Arduino Due.

I need to put breakpoints in the library. Link http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging.html has "... If you want to set breakpoints in library source files, add these files to you project as normal source files, instead of adding the library. ...". However if I add the .cpp or .h files via SolutionExplorer to the project it generates multiple "first defined here" errors. VisualMicro.AddCode does not appear to have an option to add an existing .cpp and .h file.


So I thought to uninstall these libraries then repeat step above. However, VisualMicroExplorer.ManageLibraries has "This library version was installed manually and can not be removed using this tool."

It appears that to stop VM using a library which is installed in Arduino.cc IDE 1.5.8 the library has to be deleted which will break builds in 1.5.8.

How is a library to be installed in VM so that breakpoints can be set in the code?

Link http://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1457444130/6#6 gives some instructions but I cannot locate the corrsponding menu options.

Thanks.

These steps create new empty .cpp & .h files - so I copied the code from the pre-existing .h & .cpp files.

This generates multiple "first defined here" errors - presumably because the libraries with the same code are in the project? Renaming the directories containing the pre-existing libraries does not help, VM seems to pick up whatever is within the Arduino directory. By deleting the libraries from the Arduino directory and rescanning the newly created source files become inputs to the project and build OK. However, the Arduino.cc 1.5.8 installation is now broken.

I note that the first line of output is "Compiling debug version of 'PacketSerialSimplePWM' for 'Arduino Yún'" even though Arduino Due (Programming Port) is selcted in VM IDE.  However on the successful builds Output correctly lists 'Arduino Due (Programming Port)'.

This is "show all files " clicked again but it shows less.

Following the procedure of my original post, with subsequent amendments, the project builds, uploads and enters debug successfully, so I will continue with this for now. When I create a new project using these libraries I will follow your procedure outlined above, and see if it builds OK.

Thanks again.
