Allow Libraries to Extend Include Path

[SciLor]

It would be helpful to be able to specify additional include path for libraries when they are compiled.

For ex. I want to port libopus for energia. To compile it I need to add include path for several subdirectories.

See Arduino proposal/solution here

As the Energia IDE is based on Arduino, so the same limitations apply.

Some directions to explore:

• Copying the libraries under the user's library folder.
• Using other IDEs that feature a fine grain selection for libraries.

There is a pull request that addresses this issue.
arduino/arduino-cli#502
May it be possible to use the arduino-builder from arduino?

Yes, I have tried to. The problem is that Enegia just takes the "library/src" folder as include.

This is consistent with

Maglie, C. et al. (2013, February-March). Arduino IDE 1.5: library specification. Retrieved from http://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Arduino-IDE-1.5:-Library-specification

You could either adapt the structure of the library or use another more capable IDE.

Which board are you targeting, on which platform?

I am using a cc3200 which is used in a commercial product for what I am writing an alternative open source firmware. I have heavily modified/extended the cc3200 core for that.
I am developing on windows and Linux.

So you could use Code Composer Studio.

Well, it seems that this issue will not be solved in the short term. I have developed a script that easily replaces include directives to relative ones. This should reduce the time it takes to port a 3rd party library to the Arduino ecosystem.

Based on this script I easily ported the lwIP TCP/IP stack into Arduino.
