Unable to use arduino libraries installed by library manager about arduino-cmake-ng HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello @machadolab, and yet again welcome abroad!
You said that our framework doesn't search the Sketchbook location, and you're indeed correct.
I'll check this out and see if there's anything I can extract from the SDK's metadata to add this location to our search paths.
However, from my understanding it's something that's tightly bound to Arduino IDE's Library Manager, which our framework knows nothing about. It would make it impossible to know a user's Sketchbook location, unless - One would manually pass this location to the framework.

Regarding the issue you've come across with 3rd party libraries - Could you please submit a new, separate issue for this? It would be easier for us to maintain.

So the issue is, since arduino libs need the same build flags as a 'built in' library, but the sketchbook location is not searched, there seems no way to build a project that uses these libs.

I suppose I could reverse engineer all the flags needed and simply treat it as a 'user library' but this seems way complicated since the library-manager installed libraries are basically exactly like the built in libs, just in a different location.

So I would suggest if you cant auto detect the sketchbook location, have a cmake parameter for them to specify the sketchbook location.

You should be able to easily reproduce this trouble by creating a very simple project using a Adafruit_NeoPixel example, for instance. You might also run into the same library naming issue I had too =)

@machadolab I think we misunderstood each other partly 😃
What I've meant is that you'd open a new issue for the bug regarding Adafruit_NeoPixel, since a failure to build this library (as well as all other "user" libraries) has nothing to do with the Sketchbook Location.
I'm saying this since I already have fixes for both, but the fixes resolve different issues, so it'd be nicer to have them managed as separate issues on GitHub as well.

However, I'll do this myself now to spare some time and just in case you still don't understand my intentions. Meanwhile, I'll also edit parts of this issue to attribute it solely to the Sketchbook Location "bug".
Edit: Take a look at #17 - This was my intention.
