HID Nicohood library working fine with arduino IDE, error compiling from visual micro (Read 3334 times)

	Hi all, this library seems to trigger an issue with visualmicro/visualstudio: https://github.com/NicoHood/HID When compiled with arduino all is ok. But compiling with visual micro, it gives "Multiple attempts were made to resolve the same include path: \\server\dfs\privates\Develop\Arduino\libraries\HID\src" built properties attached... Any idea how to fix this (pleeeease don't tell me to use arduino IDE )

	Hi, This might be related to unc path names. To help know if that is the issue please map \\server\dfs\privates\\development (or part of the path) to a drive letter in windows explorer. Then set your sketchbook path to be the mapped path instead of the unc path you have used. Thanks

	Hi! happy to see I'm not the only crazy working during this period , thx! Unfortunately, mapped drive didn't change anything. I'm also using a lot of other libraries witout issues. I think that this lib is using a strange structure of files, with multiple relative paths in includes. Might be a problem, but working perfectly with aduino ide... Sebastien

	Thanks very much I discovered the issue. There is a simple workaround to rename the lmyDocuments\ibraries\HID-master folder to something unique such as libraries\HIDLib. Then click Rescan in Visual Micro or restart the IDE. The issue is that the nicohood library depends on the "HID" library that is installed with the hardware core, in this case the avr/leonardo. Normally you can override libraries by adding them to mydocuments\libraries with the same name. To detect duplicate names the "-master" (in the name from github zips) is ignored. Therefore your nicoHood library prevents the avr HID lib from being found. BY renaming the nicoHood lib folder to something unique Visual Micro will then be able to resolve the #include "HID.h" to the avr HID lib that the nicoHood code references. Calling a library HID and then relying on code in another library also called HID isn't a good idea Maybe Visual Micro can re-search and force a "duplicate" lib into the compile if a header can't be resolved. I'll look into it.

	GREAT! it is working, thank you! I still don't really get why the arduino IDE has no issue with it, but it is not really relevant anymore many thanks!

	Great, I just updated Visual Micro to find the library in the hardware\libraries folder if a header can't be found. This means that I have a NicroHood HID lib in sketchBook\Libraries and one in hardware\Libraries. I guess the arduino ide is doing same. It's not the best idea in the world but works for the nicoHood lib Interim updates can be found here when available https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

	There is now an update in the work in progress. It also contains caching of the linkage file for libs that use dot-a-linkage. This applies to the nicoHood HID library, cached compile will be much faster. Download link is in the "work in progress" thread here
