Arduino C++ IDE: multiple projects [message #1721645]

I have a project that I developed using Arduino IDE. It consists of multiple projects/libraries. If I dump everything into one C++ project then it compiles but I can't choose which "ino" file deploy. So, I also tried creating a separate C++ project for each one, and reference one project from another. However, it seems that right off the bat a referenced include flice cannot be found by the referee include file.

Are project references supposed to work?

Also, going back to the original Arduino IDE configuration, each project/library has three files: .ino, .cpp, .h. In a C++ project I tried creating three similar files, with names: MyNameIno.cpp, MyName.cpp, and MyName.h. However, the C++ IDE did not seem to be able to handle this and upload it. ANd, for multiple projects, I tried naming the projects MyName and MyNameIno. Either way it still didn't build properly.

What would you recommend?

Nope, project references, and library projects in particular are not supported at the moment. I have a feature request open for it here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=480369.

What I have recommended for now is to copy your libraries into your project. Means you have multiple copies which isn't very good, but that's all we have for now. I'd love to get more people who know Eclipse development to help get us there faster.
