builder is unable to find libraries for 3rd party boards

[robertinant]

Builder (1.3.8) in Arduino 1.6.7 is no longer able to find libraries (e.g. SPI.h) for the panStamp NRG board. http://panstamp.org/arduino/package_panstamp_index.json. This issue might also exist for other boards. This was working fine with builder 1.0.5 in Arduino 1.6.6. I have looked at all the configuration files and do not see anything obvious that should be changed to support the latest builder. Can you please look into this?

Hi @robertinant ,
I've tested the core you are referring to and I only found a problem with HardwareSerial (patch this in Arduino.h)

 #include "WCharacter.h"
 #include "WString.h"
+#include "HardwareSerial.h"
 #if defined(HAVE_HWSERIAL0) && defined(HAVE_CDCSERIAL)
 #error "Targets with both UART0 and CDC serial not supported"
 #endif

After fixing this I tested sdCardTest and it compiled correctly.
Can you give more hints (core version, sketch code...)
Thanks!

This is how the libraries get resolved in my setup

Using library SPI at version 1.0 in folder: /home/martino/.arduino15/packages/panstamp_avr/hardware/avr/1.5.3/libraries/SPI 
Using library SD at version 1.0.6 in folder: /home/martino/Arduino-master/build/linux/work/libraries/SD

Sorry, I should been more specific. The issue is with the panStamp NRG boards. All is fine for the panStamp AVR boards.

Hi @robertinant ,
you were right indeed, I was testing the wrong board.
The issue should be fixed with bd5d3ec and become available in the next hourly build of the IDE.
Thanks for the report!

[robertinant]

Awesome! That fixed it. Thanks for the quick turn-around on this!

This issue was fixed for core libraries but not for 3rd-party generic libraries (installed under sketches/libraries/) being used by 3rd-party boards.

This was reported in issue #97 some months ago. IDE 1.6.8 is still showing the problem.
