sms failure.

25 Sep 2013

Hello alll, I'm trying to use the example sms test program found on the website here:

http://mbed.org/users/donatien/code/VodafoneUSBModemSMSTest/

but it won't work. When compiling it ask for a library. I click on fix and it seems to work but then when running again it comes up with errors. Any ideas?? Many Thanks in advance Rob

Hi Robert,

Nice to hear you're experimenting with SMS.

I've just updated your Question on this.

The dependencies need updating.

Please right click on mbed, mbed-rtos, and VodafoneUSBModem and update them. I've just tested this: it works.

Regards

More generally this leads onto a question for the mbed compiler people. As in this case, the program was compiling when it was last published, but an import doesn't work. You get this on import:

/media/uploads/ashleymills/import_error.png

and then this on compile:

/media/uploads/ashleymills/compile_out.png

The problem is fixed by updating the libraries. Why does this happen? Is it because the compiler environment is implicitly defining some things? Shouldn't a repository be completely self contained?
