Solution to PCREL error for avr25/ATTiny84/ATTiny85/ATTiny88.

Using Arduino Microcontrollers

Dear Tom

I'm having the same problems at everybody in this thread but your fix unfortunately hasn't helped. I'm using Arduino Uno and ATtiny85. Here's my error:

Here's what I've done to try to fix it:

  1. Followed every step in Tiny85 PCREL error - #2 by Coding_Badly - Microcontrollers - Arduino Forum (I didn't have WinAVR previously so didn't have to replace anything, there was no tools folder)
  2. Downloaded the patch and replaced the ld.exe file in the hardware/tools/avr/avr/bin folder with the one from the patch zip

I definitely got the Windows version, not the Mac one.
I have restarted the IDE.

Let me know if I should post anything else, like my code (really long and essentially irrelevant to this problem if I understand correctly) or boards.txt. Thanks a bunch!
