Button example won't compile

[Hansgur]

The provided example > digital > Button; won't compile, yet if one inserts just "Serial.begin(9600);" in setup it works fine. (as in "DigitalInputPullup").

What could the reason be? Bug?

I tried under Linux/x64 with "Arduino AVR boards" in version 1.6.3, 1.6.5 and 1.6.6. Compiles everywhere. Which version do you use? Which platform?

Compiles fine here as well. What error are you getting? What board do you have selected?

Hi. Arduino Uno R3.

Arduino: 1.7.2 (Windows XP), Board: "Arduino Uno"

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 5 exit status

Error compiling.

Oh. Arduino 1.7.2 is over there: https://github.com/arduino-org/Arduino/issues

A long story:

Personal note: I am here because I regard Arduino as the community, not the Zero carbon footprint made in Italy boards. In my opinion you are better off using the arduino.cc IDE for anything else than the boards that are currently only offered by .org (namely the Zero Pro).

Thanks I'll have a look what they say.

Please take a look at the issue #2989 - this probably might happen with the .cc version 1.6.3 as well. XP is deprecated since more than one year now, so please do not expect anyone to be very eager to fix this.

Hehe point taken (XP)

@ffissore Please merge and close #2989 and #3090

[ffissore]

Sorry @mschlenker I'm not sure I caught that: what should I merge?
