Hi,

Just installed VMicro in VS2015. When I try to install any library, I get this error message:

"Unable to install the new library: invalid source path
C:\Users\Mat_CORP\AppData\Local\Temp\etc.."

When I try to browse to that location, it does indeed not exist because the username is wrong. My username is Mat.CORP, not Mat_CORP.

So it seems that VMicro is replacing the dot in the username with an underscore.

I suspect this is a bug? Can it be fixed?

Is there a workaround in the meantime?

Thanks

Mat

Hi,

I guess that means I have to go find each library manually on the internet, correct? I tried that out with a library called "Time" which I had to go find in this location:
https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Time

I unpacked it in this folder:
C:\Users\Mat.CORP\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Time-master

The library.properties file already exists in the zip by the way. When I rescanned/refreshed the libraries in vmicro, I did not notice any change. No src subfolder appears.

I presume the library should become visible under "VMicro..Add Library..User"? But that dropdown remains empty, all I can use is a dropdown with "Built-in" libraries.

I tried to add this line:
#include <Time.h>

But I get this when I compile:
fatal error: Time.h: No such file or directory

Thanks

Hi,

I had indeed specified another folder for "Optional sketchbook location", possibly in an attempt to get around the errors.

Anyway, when I put the folders in a subfolder "libraries" of this sketchbook folder, then it works!


Downloading libraries manually is still a bit of a pain though, so I will still be looking out for a fix for this issue.

Many thanks!

Mat
