Import Libraries to Arduino IDE
« on: November 03, 2014, 09:27:52 am »
So I've Imported the libraries to the IDE a couple of different ways but it seems that it doesn't add the boards to the menu. I am trying to get this set up on a linux box. The nightly build I downloaded 11/01 didn't create a sketchbook folder in the home directory, but it did put an "Arduino/libraries" there. I was wondering if there were other changes to the IDE recently that would be affecting it.

Arduino.cc instructions for importing libraries say to direct the IDE to the zip file, but that doesn't work either.

I've tried to manually patch the boards.txt, programmers.txt, and add the pro variants and cores to their respective folders,  but that just results in a compiler error "Arduino.h not found". I have verified that the original...... oh wait. When I import the libraries out of the digisparkpro_linux.zip, is there something in there pointing the compiler to the /home/[username]/sketchbook which does not exist?

Another little note, when I ran the IDE in the package for the original digispark, it did create a sketchbook folder.

It would be super cool to have the instructions for doing this manually, e.g. edit this file, put that folder there.

You can probably disregard that last question, unless anyone else had the same problem. I installed a new linux distro so we'll see if that has any effect on this issue.
