LowPower.h is not working for Atmega8A microcontroller

Using Arduino Microcontrollers

Hello, I successfully uploaded bootloader and blink sketch using Arduino nano to program Atmega8A on breadboard.

But the problem occurred whenever I added #include <LowPower.h> library in my code and tried to upload a sketch then the compiler shown some errors.

compiling for board Arduino NG or older:

Both messages seem to indicate that the LowPower library is not compatible with the Atmega8A. I do not have a solution for that; you'll have to dig.

Your topic has nothing to do with Avrdude, stk500 or with a bootloader and hence has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum.
