Insufficient info to get this to compile

I have unzipped your library along with the one at https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino.
It still wouldn't compile.
Arduino IDE complains about not being able to find queue.h - I found this in tools/sdk/.... and copied it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\esp8266FTPServer and I got past this compile error.
So clearly there are other things that you need to do with the Arduino IDE installation to make your library compile without my hack. And you need to details these, step by step.

And now I have another compile error - Arduino IDE can't find 'functional' - an include file in ESP8266Generic.h
And chances are the same thing is going to happen with the include file below this 'memory'.

So, from my perspective, your library is unusuable because you have not fully detailed everything that a new user of your library needs to download/install/have in their Arduino installation.

you need to take a step back and get your IDE/esp8266 core working first....

Can you compile the esp8266 sample "Hello Server" and upload it to your esp?

Once you have that working then getting this library to work is just as simple....

btw: it sounds like you haven't set the proper board in your IDE before compile...

Well that is exactly the sort of thing you need to detail David – it is not remotely clear from the little doco you have provided. I am trying to compile and upload to a mega with an ESP8266 shield, not to a standalone ESP8266 board. You also need to provide a link to that other repository you pointed out to me and make it clear to people that they need to install that as well. Otherwise it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack of needles – there are dozens of different ESP8266 repositories. Which one have you used – who the hell can possibly know? And also a link to how you get the ESP8266 sample compiling and working – you must have used someone else’s instructions when you were setting this up yourself the first time, so provide the link that you used. Neither of us are chinese who can’t speak English and can’t write a decent manual for shit. And manuals don’t need to be enormous documents – just a series of short and clear step by step instructions in a numbered list. It would take half an hour tops in your case – tiny a fraction of the amount of time you have spent coding your library. I always create my manuals with screen shots to make it even clearer to newbies.
