compilation error while uploading LIFA_Base to arduino board

[skmr168]

while compiling the file:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 201x\vi.lib\LabVIEW Interface for Arduino\Firmware\LIFA_Base

sostware used:

Arduino: 1.5.8 (Windows 8), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

compilation error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\RobotIRremote\src\IRremoteTools.cpp:5:16: error: 'TKD2' was not declared in this scope

int RECV_PIN = TKD2; // the pin the IR receiver is connected to

                ^

Error compiling.

  This report would have more information with

  "Show verbose output during compilation"

  enabled in File > Preferences.

This happens because LIFA is very old and no longer supported.  If possible, you should upgrade to LINX.

then we have to always use LINX instead of ARDUINO while making project ??

i did it like this----

but now will i use NINX for initialization, input/output etc. ??

[Nathan_B.]

LINX is a complete replacement for LIFA.  Check it out, look at the examples, etc.  You will see.

yes,by doing that it worked

but don't you think that removing those files will not affect my other arduino programs??

plz help in this regard....
