rc-switch error #42

Open 5dollaralien opened 6 years ago

5dollaralien commented 6 years ago

Hi, I am very new to this sort of thing but am learning very quickly..well maybe trying to compile the 433Utils and wiringPi on a Rpi 2 I get this error

pi@raspberrypi:~/433Utils/RPi_utils$ make all g++ -DRPI -c -o codesend.o codesend.cpp codesend.cpp:14:22: fatal error: RCSwitch.h: No such file or directory

include "RCSwitch.h"

                  ^

compilation terminated.

: recipe for target 'codesend.o' failed make: *** [codesend.o] Error 1 but yet RCSwitch.h is in the rc-switch folder, is there something I am missing, believe me being new to linux have been missing quite a bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated

maby problems with access/file permissions? wrong user?

5dollaralien commented 6 years ago

Thanks for reply underwoodblog, I have not changed from the default user "pi" probably a bad idea now that we are talking about it. Been using that for everything. But for the permissions, could anyone tell me what that file would need, I know it does not have execute, but does have read(anyone) write(user only) if my memory serves me. I am willing to try anything Thank You

Have you cloned with git clone --recursive git://github.com/ninjablocks/433Utils.git to fetch rc-switch?

You can check this if you find a "rc-switch" subdir with "RCSwitch.h" and others in your "~/433Utils" directory.

5dollaralien commented 6 years ago

Yes I did install using recursive, the rc-switch folder is there and so is the RCSwitch.h file which has text and code inside when I look at it on my pi. Here is what I found looking at the folders and the files through the terminal

the files are there but for some reason beyond me it says it is not

hmueller01 commented 6 years ago

This is strange, as latest codesend.cpp includes #include "../rc-switch/RCSwitch.h" in line 17. But your error occurs on line 14 and the #include does not include "../rc-switch/". Do you really have the latest version? It looks like the version from Mar 14, 2013 ...

I can only recommend to clone a new/latest version of the 433Utils.

5dollaralien commented 6 years ago

I am so sorry I see now hmueller01, I looked at some modified files that I was instructed to put into the 433Utils/RPI_utils and just what you said, line 14 #include "RCSwitch.h" it was further back in the instructions when I first began an alarm system and forgot until you mentioned it. I think I need this guys code to run the alarm but need of course things to run correctly from the start. First off how do I go about getting back to original, of course I did not back up those two files. Can I just replace with winscp? I am sorry forgot to mention the modification that would have in retrospect cleared things up.

5dollaralien commented 6 years ago

Thank You hmueller01 for your tip on the rc-switch call. apparently in the newly written code they were only calling for RCSwitch.h...after overthinking it for a while and rereading what you said it finally hit me just change it in the code, so far it is working good and pulling in codes. No errors finally!!
