Hi,

I am trying to use the httpclient library from here: https://github.com/amcewen/HttpClient.git

I am using Arduino1.5.4 and Visual Micro and a Mega 2560.

When I try to compile the SimpleHttpExample sketch that comes with the library in Visual Micro, I get a big list of compile errors - paste below.

When I compile in Arduino IDE, it works fine.

Having done some googling, i found that the structure of Arduino libraries is changing around v1.5 onwards. Could this be the cause of my problems?

Any other suggestions on how to get round it would be gratefully received.

If there is anything else in my setup that I should check, please just let me know.

Hi,

The change of structure for Arduino 1.5.x is supported and is the reason why in Visual Micro you specify Arduino 1.0.x and/or Arduino 1.5.x location. You should be using the Arduino 1.5.x option for Arduino 1.5.4. To be honest we have not made an official release for 1.5.4 yet so I recommend 1.5.3 which has little difference. We will test 1.5.4 for the next release due in a week or two.

Can you confirm where you have placed the http libraries and what the Sketch Book Folder is set to in your Visual Micro app options.

Thanks

Hi,

I think the problem will be a conflicting library. 

I recommend a clean install of Arduino then add the http library to "d:\arduino\libraries" which is a fully supported alternative location for user libraries.

I also recommend using 1.0.5 or 1.5.3. We have not fully tested with 1.5.4 yet which is still an Arduino beta. 

Our basic tests with 1.5.4 look okay but I think some tweaks are required for the next VM release. This is not the cause of your problem but once you resolve this issue you might like to avoid more issues

Thanks
