General Discussion / Be aware where you install
« on: September 02, 2020, 09:58:20 AM »
Hi everybody,
I'm facing a strange, where not fancy, behaviour of the Eclipse-for-FT9xx.
And I spotted is caused by the position of libraries.
If you install your eclipse in program files (x86), you will likely have the libraries put in a path like
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bridgetek\FT9xx Toolchain\Toolchain\hardware\include
well, this is a administrative rights protected area (win 7 but every other newer) and you can be misleaded
I've imported a 2.5.0 library includes and source over a 2.3.2 library (and used git to keep the ability of switching back and forth)
But today I've stepped into the fact that what i thought it was a 2.5.0 library is "cached" somewhere and read as a 2.3.2 library.
I'm moving now the include path to see if anything changes.
