Build error when trying to use GU7000 headers for Noritake VFD modules...

[highgain86j]

Basically, I've been working on a few projects that utilize the Noritake's GU7000 series VFD modules. These projects also turned out to require the use of pt.h I suppose this could be a general question on the handling of header files on CLion with the plugin installed. The headers have been loaded via Arduino IDE by importing the distributed zip file and things were working fine under Arduino IDE. Then I decided that I wanted to use a more intelligent IDE so made a switch to CLion (wise or unwise is not the question here because I'm liking CLion anyway :P).

Making things easier, the imported headers/libraries have been moved to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries, and maintains the following structure (copied from GitBash);

For some reasons, none of these headers was correctly referenced by CLion with the plugin installed, and I had to modify the #include array section as follows; From:

#include <GU7000_Interface.h>
#include <GU7000_Serial_Async.h>
#include <Noritake_VFD_GU7000.h>
#include <GU7000_Parallel.h>
#include <GU7000_Serial_SPI.h>
#include <GU7000_Serial_Sync.h>
#include <pt.h>

To:

#include <GU7000/GU7000_Interface.h>
#include <GU7000/GU7000_Serial_Async.h>
#include <GU7000/Noritake_VFD_GU7000.h>
#include <GU7000/GU7000_Parallel.h>
#include <GU7000/GU7000_Serial_SPI.h>
#include <GU7000/GU7000_Serial_Sync.h>
#include <pt/pt.h>

For start, things seemed better but soon with no luck for a successful build. The error message clearly said something was wrong with the referencing of Noritake_VFD_GU7000.h within GU7000_Serial_Async.h on its line:8 (written as #include <Noritake_VFD_GU7000.h>). Likewise, all other referencing of any headers under GU7000 directory had to be rewritten - which made me think that there should be the more correct ways of getting around problems of this kind.

The question is; a.)How differently (from Arduino IDE) are the libraries searched to be included under CLion + plugin? b.)Are there any ways to avoid the modification of header referencing in .ino, .h, or *.cpp files so that codes formerly written in Arduino IDE work on CLion just as is? c.)(This may be hard for you to answer, but...)Woud the use of PlatformIO combined with CLion be any better on this? - I'm now testing both ways.

I have the same problem with TFT libraries. Did you solve it and if so, how?
