Issue with libararies and compiling in Arduino IDE

[Strider336]

I have no issue at all getting R120 and R147 to work on my Sonoff Th10, BUT with those I can't seem to parse event values via http to the Sonoff running R120 or R147, I spent half a day trying to find out why until eventually someone somewhere on some obscure forum said it only worked in the latest release.

So I obtain the latest release, but first it doesn't compile because the ESPEasy.ino is not in a folder called ESPeasy, I change folder src to ESPeasy it tried again, it then comes back with:

fatal error: AS_BH1750.h: No such file or directory

Turns out that the #include line for this file has been added where it did not exist before, so I removed it with // and then it did the same thing with another .h file, rinse/repeat for countless files until eventually I realised there were too many and gave up.

Even with a folder structure identical to R120 and R147 it STILL throws up this error!

What would be really helpful is if I could see where exactly the Arduino IDE is looking for these damn files........ Probably somebodies desktop half way across the planet????? (wouldn't be the first time).

Any ideas??????



-Update-

Copied lib folders to "esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.3.0\libraries" something I didn't need to do with R120 or R147. It now finds those files.....

Next it's throwing up a "`.text’ will not fit in region `iram1_0_seg" Error
After some exhaustive searching I found a reference to modifying "eagle.app.v6.common.ld" to contain "*libstdc++.a:(.literal .text .literal.* .text.*)" at line 163
This ^^ did the trick, I can only assume that at some point everyone who's actually been able to compile this, has done this mod????

I guess i'll find out later, whether this will work after flashing it to my devices......


-Update-

The above fix mod to "eagle.app.v6.common.ld" no longer works, I get the same error, I have no explanation for this at all.

Hi. Folder ESPEasy (with all .ino files) must be in src

[Strider336]

Then why are all the files in the "src" folder? Somebodies idea of a joke?

Anyway, changing "src" to "ESPeasy" solves that little problem.

Still no idea why it couldn't find the libraries, made 2 copies of the folder, renamed one as "libraries" and the other as "lib", neither worked, put extra copies of those in the ESPeasy folder and still Arduino IDE was like "hahaha f**k off, I can't find the files and i'm not telling you why!!!"
Especially weird considering that R120 and R147 had no issue with this.

It'd be really nice if everyone was working from a standard platform, but then some random person puts in a line of code pointing at a file in a location unique to that individual and the whole thing falls over as soon as anyone else gets their hands on it.

On a positive note my frustrations with this are nothing compared to my various RPi projects, trying to get information out of the elitist Linux crowd is literally a classic blood/stone situation.

Ok, so I tried the very latest release and I don't even know where to start with that....

How the hell does a new release go from one or two errors to this shower of sh*t?

NO! You can not just rename src to ESPeasy. You need this structure:

arduino/src/ESPEasy

Exactly written like the above! The ESP libraries go to arduino/libraries (NOT lib!)
".. was not declared .." is typical for that. Arduino can not find the include files...

Then why does the downloaded file have any folder structure at all?

Might as well just dump all the files in a single file folder, with a readme.txt saying "sort it out yourself, I can't be bothered".

When I allowed Arduino IDE to move ESPeasy.ino into it's own ESPeasy folder, the result was IDE complaining it couldn't find the other ino files, I figured that moving all the files was a bad idea and so renamed SRC to ESPeasy, as surely once you start messing with folders, nothing is going to be where it's expected to be?

What pisses me off, is the fact that previous releases work without messing with the folder structures. It's just makes zero sense...........

[vader]

That's why I help you. I had also to learn all that stuff for a year ago now. But with each step done it's less work!

[Strider336]

I do appreciate the help, i'm just moving across that line from frustration to anger right now........ If only Arduino IDE gave me some clue as to where it was expecting to find these files, the whole thing would be less painful.

What would be less work is if stuff was documented properly.

Ok so where is arduino/src supposed to be?

I've got:
C: \Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.3.0\libraries
and
C: \Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries
and
C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Arduino\libraries

In fact lets start at the beginning, let's start with the obvious stuff that's not so f**king obvious, let's say I open this abortion of a zip file "ESPEasy_v2.0-20180113.zip"..... Where do I put the files? What should the folder structure look like?

[vader]

Ok, all .ino files in src (from the ZIP file) come into arduino/src/ESPEasy. The folders in lib (from the ZIP file) come into /arduino/libraries.

"C: \Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.3.0\libraries" -> let it untouched.
"C: \Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries" -> place where Arduino store library files

That should work now. Hope there is no difference between Windows and Linux version of Arduino....
