Visual Studio with Visual Micro support for Teensy LC

[KurtE]

Sorry, I know part of this was already talked about in the Teensy LC thread, but thought it maybe deserved it's own thread.

There are times I get tired of using the Arduino IDE, especially since most of the time I am working on libraries and as such need to use a separate editor for those files... So I have been alternating between maybe using Visual Studio or using Eclipse.

I also noticed yesterday they released a new version of the visual micro that supports Arduino 1.6.1

I also noticed that the Teensy page:
http://www.visualmicro.com/page/Teensy-for-Microsoft-Visual-Studio.aspx

Talks about Paul stabilizing the next release which has been released. It also mentioned about editing boards.txt...

So I thought I would give it a try. But even after making the marked edit in boards.txt If I try to compile for Teensy LC (which is in the list), it errors with:

Compiling 'ILI9341_Test_ReadPixel' for 'Teensy LC'
arm-none-eabi-g++*:error: {build.flags.optimize}: No such file or directory
arm-none-eabi-g++*:error: {build.flags.optimize}: No such file or directory
arm-none-eabi-gcc*:error: {build.flags.optimize}: No such file or directory
arm-none-eabi-g++*:error: {build.flags.optimize}: No such file or directory
Error compiling

I tried adding a dummy:

teensyLC.build.flags.optimize=

Tried also adding some dummy define on it instead of leaving it blank (like -DTeensyLC)
Same error.

So wondering if anyone else has gotten it to work?

Thanks

I tried it in a VM some time ago, and I think it worked with a blank value or useless define (such as -Wall). I discarded the snapshot because it was big (seriously, 8 GB for Visual Studio?) so I can't check it anymore, but I'm positive it worked.

Did you restart the IDE when you tried those changes? I seem to recall there was an option to force Visual Micro to reload the settings in the the Tools menu, or something like that.
