Hi, I am fairly new to eclipse. I am programming arduino with sloeber IDE which is based on eclipse. I assume that my question is generic to c++ eclipse IDE, so that you may help in general.

Since arduino is not capable of using the normal debugger, I need to use debug messages on serial interface to see whats going on. I would like to have debug and release builds. Debug is containing will set some #defines to active while they are not defined or inactive in a release build.

I created a header file debug_includes/config.h with following content:

#ifndef CONFIGURATION_DEBUG_H_
#define CONFIGURATION_DEBUG_H_

#define PROJECT_CONFIG_IS_DEBUG 1
#define IS_DEBUG_TB6612 1
#define TB6612_ENABLE_OUTPUTS 1

#endif /* CONFIGURATION_DEBUG_H_ */

I included this file as c++ preprocessor file (see screenshot):
index.php/fa/41948/0/

Within the IDE it looks good, the debug part is active:
index.php/fa/41949/0/

But when I want to build I get the following error:

18:18:43 Build Failed. 2 errors, 1 warnings. (took 2s.916ms)

The generated sloeber.cpp looks like this:

#include "Arduino.h"
null
#define LED_RIGHT 1
#define IS_MODEL_GENERIC 0
#define IS_MODEL_BULLY 0
#define IS_MODEL_POLICE_PORSCHE 0
....

It does not matter if I choose preprocessor macro file or include file for pointing at the file. The error is the same.
What am I missing? Can anyone help?

Looks like the IDE (editor) is working correctly, but something weird is happening during build.

Thanks a lot

I'm not familiar with Sloeber and have no idea what and how it "generates" but this "null" is definitely out of place:
#include "Arduino.h"
null
#define LED_RIGHT 1

It is not a variable, it is not a macro, it is just a random text from the compiler's point of view. Check how you've got it in you source file.
