Cannot find Gameduino2 header files

#1

I am trying to take over an Arduino project that someone else did. I know it used Gameduino2 so i added it to the platformio.ini:

[env:release]
platform = atmelsam
board = due
framework = arduino
lib_ldf_mode = deep
lib_extra_dirs = ../../libs, ../../external
lib_deps = 
	greiman/SdFat @ ^2.1.2
	mbed-aluqard/Gameduino2@0.0.0+sha.9c211972beb2
monitor_speed = 115200

When i do “pio run -e release” i get

In file included from src/BingMachine.h:11:0,
from src/BingMachine.cpp:1:
src/BingMachineV3.h:8:10: fatal error: GD2.h: No such file or directory

all Gameduino options use Mbed framework, but project was in Arduino framework. Has this changed? could this be the problem?

I also tried installing the library from the PlaformIO IDE

#2

In fact in libdeps/release/Gameduino2/ are the GD2.h .cpp files

#3

Are you sure you don’t want to use GitHub - jamesbowman/gd2-lib: Gameduino 2/3/3X library sources instead of PlatformIO Registry?

#4

I’ve looked at it but i don’t understand how it integrates with the code that uses a GD2.h functions. I’m totally new to Arduino. You think there is an incompatibility with de PlatformIO Registry option?

#5

Well it definitely has the GD2.h header file that you seem to need and is based on Arduino instead of mbed-os. Mbed-os is an entirely different framework to Arduino, you usually can’t use mbed-os libraries in an Arduino project (as soon as they need anything from mbed-os)

Try replacing the mbed-aluqard/Gameduino2@0.0.0+sha.9c211972beb2 with https://github.com/jamesbowman/gd2-lib/archive/refs/heads/master.zip. (The library is not registered with the PlatformIO registry yet). Do you get further?

#6

Worked! i Got further but i stumbled into a chain of Adafruit dependencies, and after installing every single one i am having other SDFat issued. But in fact, i needed to use arduino compatible option to get GD2 working so i’m marking it as a solution. I will start another discussion if i need to.

Thanks a bunch!!

Hello!

Is there a chance to access earlier versions of gd2-lib?

As documented in Library options — PlatformIO latest documentation, you can put a #<commit hash or tag name> behind the .git link of the repo to get a specific version. Or point to a different Zip file that is not master.zip.

Looking at the gd2-lib repo though, there are no version tags (bad development habits), so the best you can do is look in the commit history (Commits · jamesbowman/gd2-lib · GitHub) and pick a state you need. For example

lib_deps =
   https://github.com/jamesbowman/gd2-lib.git#88b0ee2a4fc8fa9497696d772feb5235b4c310c3

Ah, looking at the “version” file you can actually look at the commit-history of that file and get to the commit hash for a specific version.

For example, f5e6bbe1219e2bb7c9a19467ccd53993d5306a06 for v1.1.1.

Thank you, i’ll surely be needing this information because this project has many libraries and i will probably need to have the exact one they used originally.

Nonetheless, the reason i asked was regarding this issue that i just posted
