Unable to locate inttypes.h and stdlib.h when building simple code

Having created a project for my arduino uno and tried to build the simple blink_led program. But the compiler does not seem to be able to find the inttypes.h and stdlib.h standard headerfiles even though i have VS2015 installed. Is there any way point paltformio to the header files as i know where they are located…

Could you provide a simple project to reproduce this issue?

I have just used the blink example only including arduino.h

Something is wrong with platform packages. Try to remove C:\Users\xxxx.platformio folder

oh it might be because i have set the HOME environment variable to my dropbox such that platformio places the .platformio folder there instead of the user folder

It should not be a problem. What do you see with

pio platform list

Not OP, but I’m having this exact issue.

when I type pio platform list, I get:
