Errors Compiling/Uploading Latest Repetier Firmware

Hey!

I'm building an older Rostock V2 and am in calibration. Firmware .83

At a step where i need to modify the configuration.h file in arduinos IDE, but I can't compile or upload the code (using 1.8.9). Getting thrown a ton of errors. The repetier firmware I'm trying to edit is the latest from github.

Is there a step or two I'm missing? Or if there's more info needed to troubleshoot let me know.

    Version 0.83 is not latest firmware version, so what are you now using? Such old versions need an older Arduino IDE. I think 1.0.x should work with 0.83.

    When I boot the printer up, it shows 0.83 as the version on the screen.

    What's the sequence of events to get things running?
    Do I need to update the board firmware somehow first, or do I need to download the version of repetier from github that matches what my board is already at before editing in arduino IDE > then push the changes to the board.

    A bit confused about why the latest version I downloaded from github wont compile in the latest IDE version?

    End goal was just trying to edit the horizontal radius for calibration.

    Sorry, pretty new to 3D printer builds/controllers.

    Better option would be to use the online config tool and download the complete FM zip.

    Ok, so you have 0.83 on it and want to compile a new one 1.0.3 or 1.0.4. That compiles well with 1.8.x Arduino IDEs if settings are correct. But there are many new parameter and function since that version, so starting a new config with online editor is in deed the best solution.
