From 9e802112f0da4100b6ac73e506e021d59a4129c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joshua Hunt <1990394+FjolleJagt@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2022 20:14:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Document Debian's arduino package doesn't work I was unable to compile the default firmware with the version of arduino that was packaged with Debian. On issue #1098, @obra explained that Debian's version of arduino has been heavily modified, and installing the version of arduino that's available on the arduino website fixed my compilation problems. I have therefore added a note to the docs suggesting not to use the Debian version of arduino. --- docs/setup_toolchain.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/setup_toolchain.md b/docs/setup_toolchain.md index 61b2588a..503ecb57 100644 --- a/docs/setup_toolchain.md +++ b/docs/setup_toolchain.md @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ Next step: [Add keyboard support to Arduino](#add-keyboard-support-to-arduino) Snap: https://snapcraft.io/arduino Arch: sudo pacman -S arduino ``` - Unfortunately, the version of the Arduino IDE packaged in Ubuntu is unmaintained and too old to use. + Unfortunately, the version of the Arduino IDE packaged in Ubuntu is unmaintained and too old to use, and the version packaged in Debian has been heavily modified and might not be able to compile your keyboard's firmware. 2.
