compiler error: vector: No such file or directory

I am attempting to build a project using the std::vector library. When compiling I get the following error:

fatal error: vector: No such file or directory
   #include <vector>
   compilation terminated
Error compiling project sources

I have tried compiling with Deep Search turned off and on, there is no difference in the result. 

The project includes other library's which are located in the "Arduino\libraries" folder, and those compile just fine. It seems like there is an issue finding libraries located in the directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include

(which is where all of the standard C libraries are located) 

I modified my Configuration Properties for the linker and added the VS include directory to the "Additional Library Directories" search path (see attachment). Still no luck...

Any input or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
-Chris

Hi,

That isn't how arduino works. 

It can be confusing with the vs intellisense which shows standard windows intellisense along with arduino. It's possible to switch that off in the paths "include" paths dialog.

However you can not change the intellisense paths themselves because visual micro has to automatically updated them with lib and hardware paths etc. (depending on what the code uses and what board/architecture is set)

There is actually no need to ever set any paths for arduino and you also can not set any paths in the arduino ide.

The arduino has very little memory compared to a windows machine therefore you will find a cut down version of c++ as documented on the arduino.cc and applicable gcc web sites.

If you switch on vmicro>compiler>verbose, after a build you will see where sources are compiled from and will see there is no mention of any windows paths in the -I compiler includes.

Sorry can be of more help.
