[PATCH] Compilation fails on Arduino 1.0 - fatal error: WProgram.h: No such file or directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start up Arduino dev GUI

2. In the GUI load the "LoLShield BasicTest" example:
File -> Examples -> LoLShield -> LoLShield_BasicTest

3. Press the compile button


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected: compilation works.
Instead:
libraries/LOLshield/Charliplexing.cpp:32:22: fatal error: WProgram.h: No such 
file or directory


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

- Latest Arduino GIT (git://github.com/arduino/Arduino.git), rev. 
11281ec77ece61aeab64d047ed899d47221dd4a7, 2012-01-05
- latest lolshield SVN, rev 19


Please provide any additional information below.

This is a known bug w/ lolshield code and Arduino 1.0 or newer. Seemingly 
Jimmie keeps fixing this every time he encounters the problem in one of his 
workshops so I thought patching the actual source in the repository would be 
more convenient ;)

I attached a patch file which sets things straight for Arduino 1.0 while still 
maintaining compatibility to older releases. 

This patch has been tested on ARDUINO 1.0 ONLY!

How to apply the patch:
- check out the lolshield SVN trunk
- put the patch file arduino-1.0-include.patch into the checkout directory
- run 
    patch -p0 --dry-run < arduino-1.0-include.patch

ok I am totally new to this and thrown for a loop here can you explain patch 
application?  

downloaded LoLsheild program installed in arduino Library and it won't compile 
I can't find the svn trunk or the checkout directory and am not clear on the 
run instructions. 
trying to learn please help. 
thanks

I made a small mistake in the description: the patch line is of course

 patch -p0 < arduino-1.0-include.patch

(without the --dry-run)

I updated the description in the patch file as well. Patch newly attached.

Bradley, I'll try to help you and lead you through the process of patching 
sources. What OS do you use?

windows 7, and Thanks! I am re-installing arduino. I had it in the 64 bit 
program file, that may be one issue. In the arduino environment Jimmie makes a 
statement "this requires chairplexing library" so maybe I am missing the 
necessary files? I have also been using the v1 LoLsheild program, because I 
only get one error message the beta v2 gives like ten issues.  I do appreciate 
the help

Bradley, it looks like more of a general issue you're running into. That's OK, 
and I guess we'll be able to resolve it (although I'm using Linux, but this 
shouldn't be a problem).

Just since it's more of a general problem would you please come over to the 
google group (http://groups.google.com/group/lolshield) and open a new 
discussion there? It's just more visible this way in case someone else runs 
into the same problem.

When posting in the google group please specify:
- the Arduino Version you are using (1.0?, 0.22? 0.23?)
- the LoLShiled Version (I guess it's 0.1? I would recommend 0.2, though)
- the error messages (just copy+paste the whole compile output, like, 
*everything* from the status window, into your post)

Done! I hate that I am having a general problem.I was hoping not to have been 
stuck so fast. 
appreciatively,

Really? Where? I can't find any post newer than 2010 here

I am using
windows 7
arduino 1.0
and have tried both LoL vo 0.1 and 0.2 but get a bunch of errors in
addtion to the one above with 0.2

I built the LoLSheild, downloaded arduino, and LoL program installed
it into the Library but receive error when trying to compile message
when I try to upload it to the Arduino uno smd version as well as
arduino uno.

thanks for any help

Ahh, okay :) I'm not a moderator, just an user like you, so I can''t see it.

That looks OK to me.

That's good! I mean, well, obviously it's not perfect, but you're almost there.

You need to do the following: 
1. Open your favourite editor. The Arduino editor will not do since it won't 
let you open cpp files easily. Notepad will do in a pinch.

2. In your Editor, open and edit this file: 
   C:/program files(x86)/arduino-1.0/libraries/LoLShield/Figure.cpp

3. In line #25 (or so) of this file replace the line

#include "WProgram.h"

with

#if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO >= 100
#include "Arduino.h"
#else
#include "WProgram.h"
#endif

4. Save and close the file. But we're not done editing files.

5. Now open C:/program 
files(x86)/arduino-1.0/libraries/LoLShield/Charlieplexing.cpp

6. In line #29 (or so) replace the line

#include "WProgram.h"

with

#if defined(ARDUINO) && ARDUINO >= 100
#include "Arduino.h"
#else
#include "WProgram.h"
#endif

7. Save and close the file. Only two more files to go! 

8. Now open 
  C:/program files(x86)/arduino-1.0/libraries/LoLShield/examples/LoLShield_FontTest/LoLShield_FontTest.pde

9. Same as above, the line #include "WProgram.h" should be around line #24 this 
time.

10. Save and close. We're almost at the finish line.

11. C:/program 
files(x86)/arduino-1.0/libraries/LoLShield//examples/LoLShield_Invader/LoLShield
_Invader.pde

12. Same thing again. At about line #26.

13. Save and close. Done and done!


Everything should build fine now. My patch (attached above) fixes this issue, 
so let's hope Jimmie will wake up at some point, include my patch, and create a 
release 0.3. I poked him via E-Mail, via Google+, and in this very issue 
tracker here. I might just fork the whole thing on GitHub if nobody of the 
committers here cares.

Awesome, I will work on it tonight. Any recommendations for skill building like 
"programming for dummies", or something. I have the "getting started with 
arduino" book.
 If I can get this down I'll do a led cube next. But, what if I want to go a bit further along with blinking lights/ El wire and such.

I recommend looking at the LOLShield library examples, change a bit, see what 
it does. 

You may also try some hardware hacking and figure out how to connect a game 
controller to the analog ports to play the (Space) "Invaders" example.

If you're into PC programming you might also have fun writing a GUI application 
to set LEDs on the board: you could talk to the board via the USB connector 
(Serial.* set of functions on Arduino).

Whatever you do, always have the Reference handy 
(http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage). Also the Arduino Examples page 
(http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage) has almost-ready-to-use building 
blocks for more ambitious projects. For instance, there's a Serial I/O example 
which can help you building the Arduino firmware for that GUI controlled LED 
setter I dreamed up earlier.

Or maybe I gave you some ideas, but you're already thinking of something 
completely different - there sure is a lot of cool stuff you can do. Most 
imporantly, have fun with the LoLShield, and make sure to post your most 
impressive results on youtube!

Just installed LoL Shield SHD library, loaded Basic_Test and then ran into the 
following compilation error.
Does anyone have any pointers on what to do?

Arduino: 1.6.4 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino Uno"

In file included from Basic_Test.pde:31:0:
Basic_Test:49: error: variable 'BitMap' must be const in order to be put into 
read-only section by means of '__attribute__((progmem))'
variable 'BitMap' must be const in order to be put into read-only section by 
means of '__attribute__((progmem))'

  This report would have more information with
  "Show verbose output during compilation"
  enabled in File > Preferences.
