SD Library gives compilation error

Projects Programming

I came across something I do not understand. With the compiler version 1.6.3 (checking from 1.5.0.beta) in any sketch compiled with a library of SD I get such a litany of errors:

Błąd kompilacji.

In contrast, the version 1.0.5 build with no errors and the program works.
I'm not that good at C to independently find a solution. I'm using Arduino under Windows XP.
Can anyone help?

Go back to 1.0.6.

Did you try to include the SPI library in your main sketch?

#include <SPI.h> 
#include <SD.h>

Why do you update Arduino to a version just a few days old while not updating your Windows operating system for 10 years or so?

I never upgrade Windows.

The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001, and generally released for retail sale on October 25, 2001.

Good question! I love it.

Make that, like, 14 years.

To: Jurs, so I declared SPI.

Why Windows XP? Because that was just so at hand. 8)
Why most recent version of the Arduino? Because that was just under the cursor.

Why is a compilation error even examples from the library? I still do not know.
And this is the most painful. :o

Of course I used 1.0.5 for compilation.

Thank for help. :smiley:

They change stuff, that's why. The libraries don't keep up.
