Output File Location

Hi

My project properties show:

$(ProjectDir)bin\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\

As the output file location, which is:

C:\Users\cowar\Documents\Sketches\MP\bin\ARM\Release\

However, the compiled binary doesn't go there. At the end of the build output, it says:

# Export compiled binary to 'Project>Property Pages>Output Directory'
# Destination: "file:///C:/Users/cowar/Documents/Sketches/MP/MP.ino.TEENSY32.hex"

VS2019 on Win11. And no, I can't move to VS2022/26 because the later GCC compliers can't fit the programs into the available space...

Anything I can do?

If you enable vMicro > Compiler > Always Copy Build Output to intermediate, then this will ensure the Output Directories used are in the same folders as shown in the Project Properties for Output and Intermediate respectively.

The version of Visual Studio makes no difference to Visual Micros behaviour. The GCC compilers used for your Arduino projects are determined by the version of the board package in use, not Visual Studio or Visual Micro.

Great, thanks!

And thanks for this also. In fact, I looked a bit more closely and it's Teensyduino which forces the compiler version. So I tried my ancient Teensyduino with VS2026 and your latest VM and it works. I'll send a request to upgrade my perpetual commercial licence to sales@...

Thanks again!
