Hi,

I'm just in the processes of starting to test out the Arduino VS2017 plugin.

In my solution, I currently have (for testing purposes) two projects:

• MyProject (an Arduino Project)
• MyLibrary (an Arduino Library Project)

For the folder structure for these, I'm wanting the following:

$(SolutionDir)\MyProject\ (the root of the main project)
$(SolutionDir)\MyProject\Source\MyProject.ino
$(SolutionDir)\MyLibrary\ (the root of the library project)
$(SolutionDir)\MyLibrary\Source\*.cpp *.h 

I can set up the reference from MyProject to MyLibrary, but from within MyProject, I want to be able to do:

#include "MyLibrary.h" 

However, it seems to want me to do:

#include "Source/MyLibrary.h" 

Is there anything that I can do in MyLibrary to tell it that the files that should be referenced are within the Source folder?

If I open up the MyLibrary.vcxitems, there is a line that says:

irectory)</AdditionalIncludeDirectories> 

I tried changing that by hand to read:

irectory)Source</AdditionalIncludeDirectories> 

But that didn't seem to make a difference.

I also tried going into the project properties for MyProject and changing

$(ProjectDir)..\MyLibrary 

to

$(ProjectDir)..\MyLibrary\Source 

But that also did not seem to make a difference.

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks

Hi Tim,

It looks like my first code block was slightly malformed - the .ino was meant to be in the Project, and the .cpp/.h files in the Library. I've changed that.

I've a pretty clear understanding of how Arduino projects/libraries work. All I'm after doing here is figuring out a way of having my code in a "Source" folder inside the project, instead of at the root of the project. Maybe my question was a little long-winded, but with the exception of the typo at the very top (and I can see how that would have been confusing!), I was trying to show that I had investigated every option I could think of.

I can definitely see that this is incredibly useful, and have purchased a commercial license, as I will certainly be using it more over the coming months, but I'd like to get my head around what I can do with the folder structure at the start, before I get too much further into it.

Thanks

Ah - "src" - that works for me.

I've got the reference working fine - everything is good apart from the folder, so knowing that I can use a "src" folder makes me happy!

Thanks for your help.
