How to include path ?!

[karosuo]

If you refer to the same question asked in your other topic:

PLease give me a CLEAR and simple include path

Thanks platformIO for making things complex and creating explaining text that does not explain anything I know I should keep it simple and include all my code limited to 1 single project You can add folders to the workspace as much as you want they disapear in thin mist … You can erase .vscode as much as you want nothing can be included how should he know where from please for include per libarary give me a means to add a library xxxxx> a.h;b.h,c.h a.cpp b.cpp c…

You could follow the @pfeerick suggestion of using build_flags=-Idir in your platformio.ini file, you could add build_flags=-I/home/the_path_to_your_headers (I just tested this on linux, but in windows it should be the same, as the docs say the “build_flags” is a string, you just need to type the ‘-I’ and the string absolute path):

PLease give me a CLEAR and simple include path

What is “DIFFICULT” about reading the linked documentation about how to use build_flags = -Idir to specify your include directories in addition to those that MUST be declared automatically to meet toolchain dependency requirements?

I have not included built libraries yet, or done arduino projects using platformio, so not sure how to do that kind of includes, but, as the IDE suggests I’m reading the documentation about the VSCode package manager (as @pfeerick mentioned in other post, this is handled by VSCode not PIO)

But in any case, you could include one of this using the “build_flags” options ‘-I’ (capital i) and ‘-l’ (lowercase L) as you would in a manual compilation (or makefile configuration), tho it might be harder to maintain and port to other projects than using the tools that the environment is offering.
