Include local libraries that are not installed (Read 1381 times)

	Hi, I am using VS 2022. I am trying to include libraries that are located under my Libraries folder in the project folder. They are not installed under the Arduino IDE library locations but just copied to my project. I used the "include in project" function in the solution explorer but it would seem that they are not added to the paths as the headers are not found by intellisense or the compiler. Is there a specific way to do this?

	It should be as simple as checking the vMicro > Add Libraries > Clone For Project When Including Libraries, and then selecting the library from the drop down list, as shown on this page: https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Add-Libraries.html Can you provide a screenshot of the Solution Explorer with the project expanded, as well as the build output with the settings shown at the top of this page.

	The libraries are not installed on the Arduino IDE platform or paths. They are highly modified libraries that has to be added to my project directly and not through the library manager.

	If you do not want to install them into the Sketchbook\Libraries folder so Arduino can access them, you will need to make them Shared Projects and add these to your solution: Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ObDIvHuMvc Documentation Link: https://www.visualmicro.com/post/2017/01/16/Arduino-Cross-Platform-Library-Devel...

	Ok that makes sense. I have never done that before so as the saying goes "you are never to old to learn". I will go check out the links and will let you know. Thanks for the help
