inot-files not supported by Arduino IDE, library does not compile

[InTransit112]

When trying to open and run the "shared counter" example, I can never get the arduino IDE to open the .inot file type and so the compiler always throws an error when calling producer()/consumer(). Any words of wisdom to trickle down?

C:\Users\jgold\AppData\Local\Temp\.arduinoIDE-unsaved2024129-28668-1l8kexo.higr\Shared_Counter\Shared_Counter.ino: In function 'void setup()':
C:\Users\jgold\AppData\Local\Temp\.arduinoIDE-unsaved2024129-28668-1l8kexo.higr\Shared_Counter\Shared_Counter.ino:8:3: error: 'Producer' was not declared in this scope
   Producer.start();
   ^~~~~~~~

   prog_uchar

   Consumer.start();
   ^~~~~~~~

exit status 1

Compilation error: 'Producer' was not declared in this scope

I am experiencing the same issue, even when compiling the "shared counter" example in Arduino CLI.

A similar issue has been reported on the Arduino Forum but has not been resolved.

Hi @InTransit112 and @AustinCast ☕ 👋

The issues you are experiencing stem from the fact that this library requires a specially build version of arduino-cli in order to work. You can download it as well as find further information here.

There is also no support for inot-files in the Arduino IDE - this library is currently in beta mode, as advertised by its README.
