How do you compile a sketch with a custom library path using arduino-builder? The docs are a little light.

I have my source code organized like this:

lib
    SomeLib
        somelib.h
        somelib.cpp
src
    otherfile.h
    main.ino

I've installed Arduino 1.8.1 into /usr/share/arduino.

I'm trying to compile this for an Arduino Uno from my project root directory with:

arduino-builder -compile -hardware /usr/share/arduino/hardware -tools /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools -libraries lib -fqbn arduino:avr:uno -build-path .build src/main.ino

But it returns this error:

fork/exec {runtime.tools.ctags.path}/ctags: no such file or directory

What's causing this error?

You need to specify the path to the tools-builder folder, which is where ctags is. Try this:

arduino-builder \
  -compile \
  -hardware /usr/share/arduino/hardware \
  -tools /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools \
  -tools /usr/share/arduino/tools-builder \
  -libraries lib \
  -fqbn arduino:avr:uno \
  -build-path .build \
  src/main.ino

  • Is there a way to upload the compiled program to the Arduino using arduino-builder or some other cli tool? Commented Mar 4, 2018 at 9:30
  • This seems to do the trick for me: avrdude -V -F -C /etc/avrdude.conf -p atmega328p -P /dev/ttyACM0 -c arduino -b 115200 -U flash:w:sketch.hex Commented Mar 5, 2018 at 7:57
