Unknown identifier 'sleep' while running felicitas_pcbsim.ulp

Question

Hello,

I tried to run the filicitas_pcbsim.ulp but I get an error "Unknown identifier 'sleep'". I didn't edit this ulp, I just download it from www.cadsoftusa.com.

So I download the user language documentation of eagle 6.5.0 and I search for sleep. Of course there is no 'sleep' command !

I guess I must change this sleep command by something else. But I don't know what.

Any idea ?

Guillaume Barrey.

PS: I run eagle 6.5.0 professional, on a Linux PC (SUSE 13.1).

Hi, there is currently no stable EAGLE version supporting 'sleep'. You can either wait for V6.6 or alternatively try the latest beta ('sleep' has been added in 6.5.2). Rene

You can either wait for V6.6 or alternatively try the latest beta ('sleep' has been added in 6.5.2). Then the proper way to do that is to check the version of EAGLE that is running and refuse to run if the version isn't high enough. Then the user knows that the particular ULP isn't supported without upgrading. You can even add a dialog that indicates the minimum version to help out. Not sure who the author of the ULP is, but this should be added if you don't want 1000 questions about the same thing. And it's generally a good practice to use in any ULP.
