compile problems

erniehatt

Hi, I am trying to compile Repetier, but keep getting this error,
Repetier.h no such file or directory.
I have tried this with several boards and two different computers, with the same error.
Even tried it with Marlin, it's just got me beat.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
thanks.

Repetier

The file should be in the same directory the Repetier.ino file that you try to compile is in. If mot, please download again the complete firmware and you should have it.

Ok thanks, Arduino ID put the ino file in a seperate folder, I ended up having to put all the .h files in that folder, but still got the following errors.
What am I doing wrong here.

Arduino: 1.6.13 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\ccg9oO90.ltrans0.ltrans.o: In function main':</div><div><br/></div><div>ccg9oO90.ltrans0.o:(.text.startup+0xe0): undefined reference toPrinter::setup()'

ccg9oO90.ltrans0.o:(.text.startup+0xe8): undefined reference to `Commands::commandLoop()'

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

exit status 1

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560.

This report would have more information with

"Show verbose output during compilation"

option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Did this but have no idea what it is about.

Repetier

Try upgrading to latest Arduino IDE. Never seen the ide move a file on it‘s own, so strange for me. I also do not see where this ltrans file should come from. It is none of our files and it is missing important files from our firmware which is why you get the errors. You are doing something that should be simple wrong. You should just
1. Run config tool
2. Download zip and unzip
3. Open arduino ide and select Repetier.ino in repetier subfolder.
4. Set your port and motherboard.
5. Hit compile

You do one of the steps differently also i do not see which one.

erniehatt

I have gone through this exactly as you say.
I down loaded Arduino Ide v 1.85.
Ran the config tool down loaded the zip.
Ports set
hit compile and arduino puts the Ino file in a seperate folder, and tells me it can't find repetier .h
And we go though the same process as above.
Got me beat
It sounds as though something is missing in the Ino file, just my guess.
here is the last section of it.

#endif

void setup()

{

Printer::setup();

}

void loop()

{

Commands::commandLoop();

}

Repetier

No, but you see the 2 commands that were missing when linking. This only works if all files are in one folder. Please check arduino settings - it has never moved the ino file in a new folder. It would only try this if you have renamed repetier folder because the folder must have the same name as the ino file. But my actions do not contain a rename so it should work.

erniehatt

Thanks, well that cured part of it, when I unzipped the download into a folder, I spelt the name wrong, that has stopped it from putting the Ino file in a separate folder.
But it is still telling me that files are missing , when they are not. It is looking for SdFatConfig.h
I might need to get a hair transplant after all this.
Edit
Ok I have just tried this on two different computers, a Win 7 pro and Win 10, both with same result.

Repetier

Have you upgraded to 1.8.x as i told you? Latest firmware requires this, because sd library is included in a subdirectory and older ides do not check them.

erniehatt

Yes I have 1.8.5 on both computers. and the SD library is there.
May I ask a question here.
I have not as far as I know enabled the SD, I do not use it, so why is it looking for it ?

MartinH

The way i upload to my board
Do not start arduino ide
unzip the repetier firmwar to desktop
open the created repetier folder (now on the desktop)
double click the .ino file (this should automatically open arduino)
in arduino ide click the 'tick' to compile

this way everything 'should' be in the correct folder.

erniehatt

MartinH,
thanks for the reply, what you have said is exactly how I do it, nothing different at all, so the problem is not with the method of operation. I am not saying it is a problem with Repetier, but it must have something to do with a setting somewhere,BUT, where. Most likely in configuration file, I just don't know where to look.

Repetier

Please check the repetier folder. It should contain a subfolder where the sd library we use is stored. This gets preferred to the official one, which is good, because we need. Modified version.

erniehatt

No there are no subfolders there

Repetier

I have to check that next week. You can use the version from github which should contain the subfolders.

erniehatt

OK, downloaded from github, there is no subfolder ther either. but it is now telling me that icstream is missing when it's not, just about to give up on this

Repetier

On github i see the src/SdFat library in Repetier folder.
No idea why you can not see it. See here
https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Firmware/tree/master/src/ArduinoAVR/Repetier

erniehatt

You had me looking for a subfolder . I don't see src/SdFat, just SdFat.h I assume it;s the same as it is now looking for iostream

MartinH

@ernihatt
can you post a pic of what you see

erniehatt

This is the current error I am receiving from Arduino.
What I don't understand is why, when the file is there.
I am afraid I am not smart enough where programming is concerned.

I M not sure this is to do with the configuration file after all, but I could be wrong, I downloaded a fresh unaltered configuration file, and I am still getting the same errors.
I really need to get this working, so where else could the problem arise from.

you have to download complete firmware , not only configuration file.
