Update Arduino.mk

[thalesmaoa]

Added some break lines.

Just want to compile the program without arduino lib, no no_core flag does not let know processor size.

@sej7278 What are you thoughts on this?

@thalesmaoa Can you also please update HISTORY.md file with a brief summary of the change?

[sej7278]

i've no idea what its supposed to do lol

[thalesmaoa]

I don't know really if it is the best way to fix a bug, but I will explain
what happen and you can figure if it is a good merge.

I've made a standalone program to use with an arduino based processor. When
I use your awesome makefile, it work ok, but it also compile arduino libs,
but I don't use them. I do not even include them.

I realized that no_core = yes and mcu = atmega2560 flag keeps arduino lib
out of compilation, but at the end throw a bug message.

This message is what I was trying to fix.

1. Just added breadlines to the end of echo

2. When I use mcu = 2560 it already knows my processor size, because it
   still tells me how full I am. In my case, 18%. But in the end, it tells me
   that it doesn't. So I took out HEX_MAXIMUM_SIZE variable so the message
   doesn't start.

Best regards

seems odd though, as we put all of the calls to PARSE_BOARD inside the NO_CORE block as if you're not using the arduino core, you also wouldn't have a boards.txt file to parse.

surely the solution to your problem would be to put HEX_MAXIMUM_SIZE=258048 in your Makefile?

also you've duplicated that code block, rather than moving it.

[thalesmaoa]

You are right, but I do use arduino core. It was just my workaround to no
compile arduino libs.

Sorry to duplicate, I didn't notice, but it is not a good solution indeed.

so you're using the arduino core but none of the libraries, and want to not compile the built-in libraries?

that's issue #29 which is the same way the ide does it - the libraries are compiled so its a bit slow, but they're not linked so take up no memory in the final hex.

[thalesmaoa]

That is the reason why I quit IDE as well. :)

I know it does not increase hex size, but pollute my make output and
difficult the tracking of warning messages.
It is not a big deal, just a simple solution.

well if you don't mind it compiling the unused libraries and just want it to be quiet in the output then probably setting HEX_MAXIMUM_SIZE=258048 is the best way, rather than your PR which could cause problems for people who really don't want to use the arduino core or boards.txt at all.

ARDUINO_QUIET may be of some interest to you also

@thalesmaoa

Thanks for the PR.

Please see @sej7278's suggestion above.

I am closing this without merging. But feel free to re-open if you have additional information.
