Library referencing other libraries will not compile - SOLVED

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

I am creating a library (called MIDIFile) that implements a class that can be used to read a MIDI file from an SD card and stream it to a MIDI device. I am using the SDFat library to read the SD card, so this is referenced in the library.

When I try and compile a test program, I get definition errors for items that are defined in the SDFat library. It just seems like the compiler cannot find the header file and no matter what combinations I try (order of includes, bracket types, relative paths) they don't seem to make any difference.

MIDI_FileRead2.ino:1:19: warning: SDFat.h: No such file or directory

SDFile and my new library are in the Sketchbook/libraries folder. I am running windows and I have the IDE 1.0.3.

Clearly I am not adding stuff in the header files in the right order, so here are the start of the files with the include sequence, and the erroe message I get. I am sure someone will have solved this before...

Midifile.h - the library header file

#ifndef _MIDIFILE_H
#define _MIDIFILE_H

// Arduino MIDI File library
//
// A class which can read Standard MIDI files.
//

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SdFat.h>

class MidiFile 
{
  public:
    MidiFile(void);
    MidiFile(uint8_t ss);
    MidiFile(const char* aFile);
    MidiFile(uint8_t ss, const char* aFile);

    ~MidiFile(void);

MidiFile.cpp - library code file implementing the class

// Arduino MIDI File library
//
// A class which can read Standard MIDI files.
//

#include <string.h>
#include "MidiFile.h"

My test program

#include <SDFat.h>
#include <MidiFile.h>

/*
 * SD chip select pin.  Common values are:
 * Arduino Ethernet shield, pin 4.
 */
#define  SD_SELECT  4
#define  MIDI_FILE  "LOOPDEMO.MID"

MidiFile SMF(SD_SELECT, MIDI_FILE);

/*
void dumpBuffer(SdFile *f, int len)
{
  for (int i=0; i<len; i++)
  {
    uint8_t  c = f->read();
    
    if ((i!=0) && ((i%8) == 0)) Serial.println();
    Serial.print(' ');
    if (c<=0xf) Serial.print('0');
    Serial.print(c, HEX);
  }
}
*/
void DumpSMF(void)
{
  Serial.println(SMF.getFilename());
  Serial.print("File Version:\t");
  Serial.println(SMF.getFormat());
  Serial.print("Tracks:\t\t");
  Serial.println(SMF.getTrackCount());
  Serial.print("Speed:\t\t");
  Serial.println(SMF.getTicksPerQuarterNote());
} 

void setup(void)
{
  Serial.begin(57600);
  Serial.println("[MIDI file reader]");
  
  SMF.load();
  DumpSMF();
 
  // close the file:
  SMF.close();
}

void loop(void)
{
}

This:

MIDIFile/MidiFile.h

Doesn't look good. The directory and class name should match, I think.

There is, strange as it might seem, a difference between SDFat.h and SdFat.h.

Just goes to show you can stare at code and not see the obvious things.

Thanks Paul, that was the problem. Once I made all the text case consistent that problem went away and now I have to deal with other issues...

No reason at all for file names to match class names - in fact if you look at the SPI library you'll see the
class is called SPIClass in SPI.h, its the singleton instance that's called SPI

[edit: of course its a useful convention, worth following!]
