Visual Micro Not producing output files

As the title suggests, everytime I compile a project with Atmel Studio using the visual micro plugin, it never makes any output files.

No .hex, no .bin, no .lss, no .map, no .o, no .a, no .elf no nothing!

My Debug folder is completely blank.  How can I upload my files without them?  Are they going somewhere else?

Has anybody else ran into this problem? I have searched my folders for the files but to no avail.  I have also re-downloaded and installed the Arduino 1.5, Atmel Studio, and Visual Micro but still no results.   

Does anybody know a work around? Here is a little info on my setup:

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
IDE: Atmel Studio 6.1.2730 service pack 2

What I have tried so far:

1. Using empty project workaround: Making a project in Atmel Studio with the same name as the ino file.

- Result: Error message "Unable to set Atmel Studio Cpp project defines"

And compiling errors:
Code
Select All
"C:\Arduino/hardware/tools/g++_arm_none_eabi/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++" -Os -Wl,--gc-sections -mcpu=cortex-m3 sh.ld" o_due_x_dbg/TestBench.map" -o bg/TestBench.elf" _dbg" -lm -lgcc -mthumb -Wl,--cref -Wl,--check-sections -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--entry=Reset_Handler -Wl,--unresolved-symbols=report-all -Wl,--warn-common -Wl,--warn-section-align -Wl,--warn-unresolved-symbols -Wl,--start-group bg/syscalls_sam3.c.o" bg\LCD_Functions.cpp.o" bg\Startup.cpp.o" bg\Test1.cpp.o" bg\TestBench.cpp.o" " bg/core.a" -Wl,--end-group

Hi there,

Your system looks to be working okay. Hopefully after reading this you will agree.

1)
Visual Micro makes an Arduino compatible compile which, among other things, involves joining all .ino files into a temp .cpp. This is done in a temp folder away from the std Atmel project although this might in the future become optional. To see the temp folder you can switch on "tools>options>visual micro>compiler>always show build folder". Then you will see the output files (.elf etc)

2)
In your second post you mention manually making an Arduino project. This is fine but if you include a main.cpp as you have then things will break. This is because the Arduino core has a main.cpp which is automatically included at compile time. The Arduino main.cpp defines the setup() and loop() methods which are so important to every Arduino compile and should not be overridden.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the insight.  After showing build folder I can see the goodies!

Dont you mean:
Tools - Options - Visual Micro - Compiler - Show Build Folder.

Also select show all files but I still couldnt get this to work:
CTRL+Click to open the folder in quick view mode.

Yes thanks I have correct the post, it is in the global options "tools>options>visual micro..."

Can you confirm that after switching on the property and making a compile, in the output window there is a "Build folder: file:///" link?

Thanks

Just seen what you mean,
:CTRL+Click Build folder: file:/etc/etc to open the folder in quick view mode.

Great. It's not ideal but I don't know how else to get a link in the output window to open an explorer view.

Hopefully a future release will provide a menu item that can be clicked at any time, not just after a build. A menu item could open a normal explorer window more easily.
