Installation Issue #1221

Hi.

I have a newly installed Arduino 2.1.1 (replaced a 1.8 installation) on a Windows 10 machine. I am trying to follow the install instructions at

https://github.com/gnea/grbl/wiki/Compiling-Grbl

and all the install steps seem to go without any error. However, when I try to open the GRBL example sketch, it's not listed on my IDE menus.

I tried deleting the downloaded GRBL library from my libraries folder (which contains other libraries whose examples do appear on the IDE menu) and then re-downloading the zip and extracting the file set over again and then copying the GRBL sub-folder into Libraries - but same result.

I restarted the IDE after each attempt and even tried a reboot of the PC - still no GRBL example offered in the IDE menu. Can anyone help me over this problem?

Okay simple resolution to this one. I had forgotten that I had moved my Sketchbook onto a network share - the Libraries subfolder always follows the sketchbook location. I was installing the files on my LOCAL location not the networked one. The Arduino IDE wasn't looking for libraries there any more. My bad.
