unknown type name 'prog_char' error ?

Guys,
why do I get this error ?
Error 1 unknown type name 'prog_char'

any ideas will be appreciated,
thanks

void xputs(const prog_char *string);

/*  The string placed in the ROM is forwarded to xputc() directly.
*/

You've posted a function declaration, not a function definition.

Unfortunately, you have not posted enough information to provide/advise a possible solution.

Post your code including where you've called the function xputs().

Is the function xputs() defined in a third party library? If so, which library?

Is the function xputs() part of a FAT File System Library?

what's the cause ? any experiences ?

thanks

Yes, the FatFs library can be a challenge to compile from source.

The following tutorials might make understanding the task easier:
