Hi!

I have stumbled upon a problem while using some libraries with visual micro at compile - yet the arduino IDE compiles successfully.

For start:
The Bitlash Library: https://github.com/billroy/bitlash/wiki/download.

I install using VMicro.
Reload IDE.

VMicro adds: Quote:


then compiler returns errors, among them:

Some of those errors are related to Linux-Specific libraries, which aren't supposed to be used. my guess would be that compiler doesn't get the "if defined" macros that distinguish between platforms - **But that's just an observation, i really have no idea why it does'nt compile, while arduino IDE does.

I tried everything i can for about a week now without success.

Would love to hear your advise!

i have same isue with bitlash.h

Both Debug/Relese , Deep search onOf

I tried it on arduino uno /nano 

Latest VS / VSMicro 

Any advise welcome 

Okay I have looked at the lib home page and it says it is for the Due

I see the library actually has an invalid structure. I suspect the "bitlash.h" in the lib root is required for arduino and not the "bitlash.h" in the src folder.

Arduino libraries originally supported the lib folder and optional lib\utility folder for "private" sources

In the past year or so a new library structure has been released by arduino which has the lib headers in an \src folder below each library and an unlimited number of "private" sub folders below that.

The new lib structure also has a library.properties text file in the lib root however libraries such as the ArduinoJSON library also broke the rules (until recently) by putting the main lib sources in the \src folder but without a library.properties file. 

So this library has the normal code in the root with some duplicated files in the \src folder and Visual Micro is seeing the \src folder and expecting that to be the main library code. Uggh

I think it is safe to undo the change made for libs such as ArduinoJSON because the Arduino Ide no longer compiles them and considers them invalid.

I'll take a look and release an update over the next day or so.

Thanks
