Arduino Portenta: does not make sense with virtual micro

Happy new year everybody.

I really do appreciate your quick response and your good support. But today I quit working with visualmicro in combination with Visual Studion and the Arduino Portenta Board.
It just does not make sense, because there are way too many errors reported in compiling process. 
This is the extremly simple code: empty loop and setup and just a few libs, which I need to use. The results are a few hundred errors! (Even without Intellisense it still produces 33 Errors and lots of Warnings) 
Am I the only one, who is compiling this? What do I do wrong? Shouldn't it result in a clean compile without any hassle? 
Code (C++)
Select All
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
#include <SerialRPC.h>
#include <RPC_internal.h>
#include <RPC_client.h>
#include <SPI.h>
void setup() {

}

// the loop function runs over and over again until power down or reset
void loop() {
 
}

Ah sorry we missed this post! We will test the latest core and try to replicate. Update during the next day or so.

If you add a Local Board.txt to the project (vMicro > Add Code > Local board.txt), and add the below entries, the program should compile as expected:
Code
Select All
vm.build.compile-includes-8dot3=false
vm.build.compile-source-8dot3=false


We will update when there is a build available with out the need to apply this work around.

In the top of the RPC_client.h file add in the #ifdef protection to ensure it isn't defined more than once, we found this was needed in the Arduino IDE as well:

File: C:\Users\[UserName]client.h

Code
Select All
#include "Arduino.h"
#include "rpc/dispatcher.h"

#ifndef __ARDUINO_RPCCLIENT__
#define __ARDUINO_RPCCLIENT__

// Rest of code in Class

#endif


The portenta is a new tool chain for arduino and has a few rough edges. If you see an error that something is defined twice it will be because the .h file is missing the conditions to ensure it is only run once. This is standard c++. It's worth letting Arduino known when you find missing conditions on .h files. Check all the #includes you have references from your .ino file.

The entries added in the board.txt locally in the project will no longer be required in the latest release (21.01.06.3), available at the top of the board below:
https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

(The change to the *.h file is still needed)
