Error while compiling LiquidCrystal library for Nano Every

Development Tools IDE 1.x

Please fix the problem of Arduino 1.8.12 when compiling / uploading the sketch onto Nano Every which I encounter as follows (but I did not have any problem with web editor (Arduino create)) :

Arduino: 1.8.12 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano Every, ATMEGA328"

In file included from C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal\src\LiquidCrystal.cpp:1:0:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal\src\LiquidCrystal.h:45:36: error: expected class-name before '{' token

class LiquidCrystal : public Print {

^

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\LiquidCrystal\src\LiquidCrystal.h:86:9: error: 'Print' has not been declared

using Print::write;

^~~~~

exit status 1
Error compiling for board Arduino Nano Every.

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

This bug has been fixed:

A new release hasn't happened since that fix. You can fix it by doing this:

(In the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences

Click the link at the line following More preferences can be edited directly in the file.

Open the packages/arduino/hardware/megaavr/1.8.6/cores/arduino/api subfolder.

Open the file Print.h in a text editor.

Add the following line to the end of the file:

using namespace arduino;

Save the file.

You will now be able to use the LiquidCrystal library with your Nano Every.

Please let me know if you run into any problems or questions while following those instructions.
