I cannot get libraries installed in the local sketch folder to work with the Zuno tool chain. It works all fine with other tool chains.
Let’s say I have a $SKETCHFOLDER/libraries/mylib/mylib.h & mylib.cpp.
I restart the IDE and I can see mylib in the Include Library drop down. But compiling fails with “mylib.h No such file or directory”. The mylib.h is not copied to the tmp build directory.
As soon as I switch to another board it all works fine.
What am I missing?

BTW am using 2.1.1 and Arduino 1.8.5

Thanks!

I can only confirm what you say. Last week I tried to develop a library (for BMP280 but that is not important) and I get the same error. I did not find a workaround.

We will check this issue to fix in 2.1.2

BTW I think I also cannot run libraries from the "libraries" folder in the sketch directory on my PC (have not tried on a Mac). At the moment, I put the code in C:\Users\peter\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\Z-Uno\hardware\zw8051\2.1.1\libraries. (so the first part of that path is %localappdata%).

I raised this issue some time back and was told to copy the files in to the appropriate place manually, which I have been doing, and it then works..

> I was told to copy the files in to the appropriate place manually,
Hm - what would the appropriate place be? IMHO the $SKETCHFOLDER/libraries is the right place.

As an example, I placed the LCD library I generated here:

C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\Z-Uno\hardware\zw8051\2.1.1\libraries\ZUNO_LCD_I2C>

Obviously the username will be different to 'Paul' on your system, and Appdata is of course a hidden directory by default

Thanks Paul for the reply. I was just confused by the working "right place". This is IMHO not the right place for user provided libraries.
What I did is to keep the libraries in the sketchfolder/libraries but created a symlink ("mklink /D" on Windows) to the ZUno package directory (same directory you are using).
