Papilio DUO Gameduino sketches not compiling

[Pooyan]

Hi,

I'm new here so I hope I'm not breaking any rules by just writing a post to ask a beginner question.

Wat I'm trying to do is build the Gameduino examples delivered with Designerstudio 1.0.8 (I tried 1.0.7 and 1.0.5 too), the FPGA circuit runs fine, but the C code won't compile.
The errors I get are pasted below :

I'm running Designer lab on Mint linux 18.2 

Kind regards, Paul

Hi,

I did some more testing, and when I downloaded the newest version of the Gameduino library and set the board type correctly to 'AVR - No USB', I did get the source to compile.

Could it be that an old version of the Gameduino library has been included with Designlab 1.0.8 ?

Kind regards, Paul

Although putting the 'new' Gameduino library in, this results in graphics not being rendered correctly. (black sprites, characters instead of graphics).

Hello, 

Did you get this to work?

I think the important thing is that you need to have the selected board as the AVR board and not the FPGA board.

Hi, sorry for the late reply I did get it to work in the end.

Selecting the AVR board instead of the FPGA did make a difference, since the source won't compile for the soft cpu.
