The easiest way to install a library #47

Open ZONT3 opened 3 years ago

ZONT3 commented 3 years ago

Sorry for putting this question into an issue What is the easiest way to install an external library, like a Library Manager in the Arduino IDE? I want to use some of these (IRremote, etc.), which is present in Library Manager. So is there the way easier, than extracting .h and .cpp files from Arduino IDE folder?

I wondered the same thing. One way is to create a libraries folder in your project and copy the library folder, like IRremote, into that subfolder. Then, in the CMakeLists.txt, you need to uncomment the line link_directories(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/libraries).

It's documented here (option 3): https://github.com/queezythegreat/arduino-cmake#arduino-libraries

I don't think it's wise to make the CMake project even more dependent on Arduino IDE folders.
