Code
Select All
compile a library (from Sketchbook/libraries) that #includes a header file from the project directory


Sorry it's not allowed (by default or supported) for arduino libraries to reference source from a project and never has been. I know it's not ideal but allowing that would cause chaos for most.

ps:
You can use the local board.txt feature to override build commands if that's easier than editing core platform.txt

Yet it's always worked until now, because the build directory was included with -I on the compiler command line.

It appears there is a platform.user.txt file somewhere, which would seem the best place for such modifications, but I can't find anything that says WHERE it should be located.  Do you know?

Hi Ray,

I owe you a big sorry  Angry I found the recent gdb debug work was automatically switching off the "Build" checkbox in the "Build>Configuration Manager" dialog.

We don't use the VS build process for arduino but it does no harm because visual micro oervriddes the c++ build attempt. Switching off the VS build has the side effect of preventing the VS pre and post build events from running.

The latest release (1612.01) now officially supports the VS build events (again), sorry for all the confusion.

If you open a project and then open "Build>Configuration Manager". Enable the "Build" checkbox and the events should then fire again.

I know it's easier to use VS events than arduino build actions (hooks) so thought this update might help at some stage.

Tim,

I must have figured that out somewhere along the line, as the Build checkbox is already checked in my projects...

Regards,
Ray L.
