My development environment consists of a Teensy 3.5, PlatformIO, and CLion. How can I make use of the standard Arduino Keyboard library?
I'm working on a project to convert a previously RS422-based device to USB. Earlier on, I used the (sadly rather horrible) Arduino IDE so I know that my code for when to send which keystrokes should work; the problem is getting the new IDE and compiler to understand the dependencies.
All along, I've been using the Serial interface to provide debug output, so I know that Serial works just fine. Ditto for using the Keyboard library from within the Arduino IDE.
However, after switching to CLion and adapting to the PlatformIO framework, I ran into problems when it came time to include the Keyboard library.
The line
#include <Arduino.h>
resolves to the file ~/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/teensy3/Arduino.h which itself seems to simply be a shim for ~/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/teensy3/WProgram.h which implements the expected Arduino functionality.
However, the line
#include <Keyboard.h>
resolves to the file ~/.platformio/packages/framework-arduinoteensy/cores/teensy3/Keyboard.h which quite frankly states that it is an empty Keyboard.h file, for compability with Arduino's Keyboard examples and does not implement anything.
I have been trying to find ways of importing the original Arduino library (by way of platformio.ini, but it seems to depend on HID and PluggableUSB that I simply cannot find.
Here is my current platformio.ini file:
[env:teensy35]
platform = teensy
board = teensy35
framework = arduino
; Avoid the Teensy loader gui app
upload_protocol = teensy-cli
lib_deps =
Keyboard
and this is the build output I am getting:

I have obviously visited the registry as suggested and tried to implement both mitchman631/HID and levi--g/USBLibrarySTM32 but still I end up missing either HID or PluggableUSB dependencies, and I cannot find a PluggableUSB.h file anywhere. Surely, there must be something fundamental I am not seeing?
Amending platformio.ini with the path to the Arduino libraries did not resolve the error.
lib_extra_dirs =
/usr/share/arduino/libraries
so I removed these lines again.
I have also tried enabling the --verbose option by copying the command from the above output:
~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/CLion/ch-0/223.8617.54/bin/cmake/linux/x64/bin/cmake --verbose --build ~/code/teensy-axial/cmake-build-teensy35
but oddly that results in
CMake Error: Unknown argument --build
even though it should know it:
~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/CLion/ch-0/223.8617.54/bin/cmake/linux/x64/bin/cmake --help | grep build
cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>
cmake [options] -S <path-to-source> -B <path-to-build>
Specify a source directory to (re-)generate a build system for it in the
current working directory. Specify an existing build directory to
re-generate its build system.
-B <path-to-build> = Explicitly specify a build directory.
-G <generator-name> = Specify a build system generator.
--build <dir> = Build a CMake-generated project binary tree.
I suspect my question is similar to this one, although my problem is with adding any library.
