mixed code libraries (again?)

[gizero]

I can't a successful build for a sketch that depends on https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BSEC-Arduino-library. I'm completely new to Arduino environments even though I do have a reasonable background in build systems in general. I know BSEC library has already been matter of discussion in the past because it provides mixed sources and prebuilt artefacts which must be both used when linking the final binary. I found in particular #611 which seems to have fixed a likely related issue. IIUC, BSEC is even used as a test case for arduino-cli these days (https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/blob/master/test/test_compile.py#L207). However, I'm using a more recent version of the library (v1.6.1480).

Moreover, I'm not sure to understand #611, when it says "https://github.com/BoschSensortec/BSEC-Arduino-library (works after removing precompiled=true directive in library.properties) -> mixed (different code and precompiled)". Do I need to "fix" the library: to me precompiled=true seems the correct option at least according to https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/library-specification/#libraryproperties-file-format.

Any advice welcome and sorry for the noise just in the case this is trivial and already documented somewhere, but I'm been struggling a few hours already and I do feel stuck with it.

Current behavior

The error happens at the link stage: here is the relevant build sub-command output. If required I can provide more details and the full log.

Expected behavior

The same sketch builds fine with Arduino IDE 1.8.13.

Environment

• CLI version (output of arduino-cli version): arduino-cli alpha Version: 0.14.0 Commit: a86b21d Date:
• OS and platform: macOS 10.14.6

[matthijskooijman]

I think this is a duplicate of #1122.

[cmaglie]

yes it's a duplicate and should be already fixed by #1140
@gizero may you try the latest nightly build?

[gizero]

@cmaglie latest nightly does indeed runs the build to completion! Thanks for pointing me to the right direction: hope to see this fix released soon. Will help in setting up a reliable CI with arduino-cli. Closing this one.
