Error when compiling: 'prog_uchar' does not name a type

I have problems when compiling/verifying a code. The error is "'prog_uchar' does not name a type" when he's at

#include "mont.h"

long started =0;

int ticks = 0;

prog_uchar *pc;

// visualize voice (v) at amplitude (a) on an 8x8 grid

the detailed error is

Do I have to modify the files somehow?
Got the code over here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Singing-plant-Make-your-plant-sing-with-Arduino-/?ALLSTEPS

Do you have this include in your file?

#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
3

It is in a filed called GD.cpp in the Arduino/Gameduino-library.

It may be, but the compiler needs to know where the definition of that type is.
The definition is this:

typedef unsigned char PROGMEM prog_uchar;

in file pgmspace.h, as I said.

Include this file in the cpp where the definition is used, and it will compile.
