I would like to compile my Arduino sketches in SlickEdit. I have turned on the verbose compile output in the standard IDE and I can see the compile and switches, but it doesn't appear that there is a Makefile in use. I don't see the "Entering" and "Leaving" messages that I associate with Make anyway. Is using a third party tool to control the build an Arduino no-no? Has anyone used Make to build Arduino?

Can you elaborate please? What is SlickEdit? (link). I don't see the "Entering" and "Leaving" messages that I associate with Make anyway. - make doesn't have such messages per se. Is using a third party tool to control the build an Arduino no-no? - no, a lot of people do that.Nick Gammon– Nick Gammon ♦2017-02-28 07:01:33 +00:00Commented Feb 28, 2017 at 7:01

Arduino doesn't use Make. In the settings there is an option to use an external editor. If you enable this you can write code in SlickEdit, but you'd have to use the Arduino IDE for compiling and uploading.Gerben– Gerben2017-02-28 11:07:31 +00:00Commented Feb 28, 2017 at 11:07

Try to see if you can live with using slickedit as the externally editor. I havent used slickedit as a project mgmt but have done so with si and pn. Both are fairly straight forward but thee setup process is fairly manual. On the automation from sublime text can be used as a full blown Arduino environment so you may check that out as a possible alternative.dannyf– dannyf2017-02-28 12:01:44 +00:00Commented Feb 28, 2017 at 12:01

1The first two lines of the arduino verbose output show you how to call the arduino builder api. It will then do the rest.Visual Micro– Visual Micro2017-02-28 12:30:27 +00:00Commented Feb 28, 2017 at 12:30

1@VisualMicro, you should add this as the answer. After creating two tools(one for each line) in SE, a dump-prefs and a Build, I get a binary. Adding a third tool called Download, lets me perform all basic operations in SE that I do in the IDE.Rich Maes– Rich Maes2017-03-02 07:58:47 +00:00Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 7:58
