Error Compiling DCF77 Example

Hey there,

I'm trying to compile the Example Sketch InternalClockSync from the DCF77 library but it's giving me this Error:

exit status 1
'time_t time' redeclared as different kind of symbol

And above I see that day month and so on wasn't declared. Any hints on this? Seems for me like any librarys are missing but i think I included all. (DCF77,Time, Timezone).

Full Error attached.

Change the line:

#include <Time.h>

to:

#include <TimeLib.h>

I have already submitted a fix for this issue to the repository for that library: Use TimeLib.h instead of Time.h by per1234 · Pull Request #3 · thijse/Arduino-DCF77 · GitHub

Hmm, the Errors are getting less :wink:

Do I have to rename the Folder too?

You must have an old version of the Time library installed. Try this:

  • Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries... > Type: Updatable
  • scroll down until you find the one that says "Time by Michael Margolis"
  • Click the "Update" button
  • Click the "Close" button
  • Try compiling the sketch again

Worked. Thanks :grinning:
