ARDUINO_BOARD symbol build error

[bebo-dot-dev]

Hi hopefully I've found the right place to raise this :)

I originally created an issue over on the esp8266 arduino project about a build problem related to one of the ep8266 libraries. That issue is: esp8266/Arduino#2211

My Eclipse installation details are:
Arduino Eclipse Extensions 3.0.0.201603312133
Eclipse Platform 4.6.0.v20160606-1342 (Neon - recent upgrade on 22/06)

I suppose this could be a Neon / plugin compatibility problem - do you think it's worth trying to install the nightly which looks like it now has support for Neon?

Thanks
Joe

Thanks, after a fairly lengthy investigation I've come to the conclusion that we're all good here and the ArduinoGnuMakefileGenerator code is doing the right thing in this plug-in. Keep up the good work!

Cool you contributed by confirming this is not an issue :-) Thanks. Good work.
As you reopened esp8266/Arduino#2211 I assume you will document the conclusions of your lengthy investigation there.

[bebo-dot-dev]

Yes I've updated esp8266/Arduino#2211 with the details.

IMO the problem I saw is just caused by missing escaped quotes in the recipe config. The plug-in simply passes this along through the generated make file and onto the gcc pre-processor which then generates invalid code in the object file resulting in the build failure.

If the ESP8266 arduino core guys agree with this analysis, I'll create the pull request over there.

Thanks
Joe

I'm closing this one and I'll follow up in esp8266/Arduino#2211

I'm reopening as this seems to be related to the different command line environment between the ArduinoIDE and the arduino eclipse plugin called sloeber

for your information this is very simular to #263

[bebo-dot-dev]

Thanks I'll take a fork and see what I can do about fixing this. If it's similar to #263 then hopefully it's just a config update rather than a code change..which suits me because I'm no java developer :)

As you see in #263 it is a windows issue. As you are on Linux I'm a bit confused (see ESP issue for more detail).
Anyway if ESP implements this the Arduino IDE way or their own way I guess something will be needed to make it work.
For #263 I opted to add a "custom config line" (Note that I changed the config change to a lots simpler thing later) but for this issue it first needs to be clear on which oses and which ide's the problem exists.
