Error in SoftwareSerial during compiling

[UnrealKazu]

When compiling the latest master I get the following error for the SoftwareSerial dependency:

In file included from sketch\GoodWeCommunicator.h:3:0,

                 from sketch\GoodWeCommunicator.cpp:1:

C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.5.2\libraries\SoftwareSerial\src/SoftwareSerial.h:113:2: error: 'ssize_t' does not name a type

  ssize_t m_swsInstsIdx = -1;

  ^

I am using the latest version of the Arduino IDE (1.8.10), as well as all dependent libraries mentioned in the README.

As you can see, the version of the SoftwareSerial library that is used is part of 2.5.2 of the esp8266 package. Compiling an older commit does work, for example, this fork.

Hi

I have a similar problem compiling the code and I don't know how to solve it, I would appreciate any help to be able to use it in two goodwe inverters.

Arduino:1.8.12 (Windows 10), Tarjeta:"LOLIN(WEMOS) D1 mini Lite, 80 MHz, Flash, Legacy (new can return nullptr), All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 1MB (FS:64KB OTA:~470KB), v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 921600"

sketch\GoodWeCommunicator.cpp: In member function 'void GoodWeCommunicator::start()':

                                                                                           ^

If you change your board manager model version to 2.4.2 it works

I am currently testing a fix for this issue.
