New Arduino IDE install . Fresh 202310 download. When I try to compile I get this error message:

In file included from C:\Users\rhieb\Documents\Speeduino\speeduino-202310\speeduino\globals.h:150:0,

exit status 1

Compilation error: macro names must be identifiers

What can I do to correct this?

It works for me, using Arduino IDE 2.2.1

[E4ODnut]

Yup. That's what I am using. I'm not familiar with the language. What does that error mean and how do I correct it?

[JHolland]

The include statement should be referencing a file "#include BOARD_HBOARD_H" is not valid because that is not a file name, it should be "#include board.h" but #include BOARD_H" may work because Arduino does not handle header files in the same manner as C or C++ and the Speeduino code is rather unusual in the way that it handles this.
I didn't have to make any code changes, I recommend that you download the code again.

[E4ODnut]

Thank you. The new download seemed to do the trick. I noticed the little change in the #include. It took me a few tries but eventually got the code compiled and loaded. So far it looks like everything is working as it should.

[JHolland]

Coincidentally, I did have a brief attempt at importing the code into Atmel Studio and it fell over with same error message.

platformIO is best, imo.

platformIO is best, imo.

What difference does that make to the compilation?

[jonbill]

Platformio is what it is developed with and although both are I'm sure trying to conform to the same interfaces and standards, there will be differences.

And I like platformio better
