(1) I'm trying to work with libraries in PlatformIO format", for example, of a library, located in Arduino's libraries, where code is llocated under \src directry.

(2) Any other library, not it "PlatformIO format" as I call it, has to contain inside libraries/EXMPLE lib a EXMPLE.h, and EXMPLE.cpp file.

(3) Now, when I try to create a "PlatromIO format" library (since I want to move to PlatfromIO) compilation fails, saying .h file was not found (an error you would get since .h .cpp was not located in their parent directory), as noted in 2 . see library ABCD in snapshot (which contains only library structures).

Appreciate any help

You're describing "1.5.x" format libraries, not "PlatformIO". This arrangement for a library was created for Arduino IDE version 1.5.0.

The critical part of this library format is the library.properties file which describes the library, and also identifies it as being a library (and which you seem to be lacking). The format of the file is described here.

  • @guyd No, but if there is a web page associated with the library it should be included. It doesn't have to be github, that's just an example. I think url= is optional anyway.
