RE: First Steps - Intel Edison Arduino Libraries

Good job Mark.

It looks like the Intel folks are trying, but clearly there is a lack of some critical need to know information.

Hey Mark,

Many of the library issues I've been finding have to do with how the #include statements are written:

2.1 Include Syntax

Both user and system header files are included using the preprocessing directive ‘#include’. It has two variants:

#include <file>: This variant is used for system header files. It searches for a file named file in a standard list of system directories. You can prepend directories to this list with the -I option (see Invocation).
#include "file": This variant is used for header files of your own program. It searches for a file named file first in the directory containing the current file, then in the quote directories and then the same directories used for <file>. You can prepend directories to the list of quote directories with the -iquote option.

When you got the error:

Intel_Edison_I2C_LCD.ino:66:37: fatal error: Adafruit_RGBLCDShield.h: No such file or directory

If you copied the file Adafruit_RGBLCDShield.h into the same directory of your sketch, it would probably compile with the include being:

#include "Adafruit_RGBLCDShield.h" and not:

#include <Adafruit_RGBLCDShield.h>

Hope this helps

Scott
