Missing header file is not reported at compile (or verify) time

[michaelshiloh]

If a header file is missing or miss-spelled, it is not reported.

This seems wrong.

(The compile will very likely fail later due to undefined variables, and this
does generate error messages, but the real error is the missing header
file, so the error message is very misleading, especially for beginners.)

I'm using 1.0.5 on Linux; verified also on Mac OS (also using 1.0.5)

If I turn on verbose output, there is a warning that the header file can't
be found. This warning should be reported even when verbose output is
suppressed.

This is a compiler bug, not ide

Isn't this a problem with the flags passed to the compiler, really? I don't have the Arduino IDE at hand to check, but I'd guess this is related to the -w (suppress warnings) or -Werror (treat warnings as errors) flags or something like that...

[michaelshiloh]

Either way, it should be reported to the user

Either way, it should be fixed.

Sorry but the ide does not play with compiler messages. But if I'm right
you can activate verbose compiler mode in the preferencies, it does print
warning.
If a header is mispelled it is relatively easy to recognize, missing header
is almost impossible without going throug all header looking for your
"object".

This is caused by the -w flag on the compiler command line, which keeps warnings from being reported. Closing as duplicate of #1728
