ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

There are 2 files there. rotaryencoder.c and rotaryencoder.h It also needs:
Code:
/* rotaryencoder.c :
* Just another library for rotary encoders on Raspberry Pi.
* Needs its rotaryencoder.h file companion and "wiringPi" LPGLv3 lib.
* V.1.1.0
*/
Show what you are doing, the errors that you are getting. Do you have wiringPi lib instlalled?
No one will be able to help without a lot more info.
This library does not look promising. Look for something else to use
Let's see now:
* last updated 9 years ago
* license filed is named "read me license"
* readme looks like the kind of gibberish produced by online translators
* issue in the tracker reporting "hundreds" of compilation errors
Also, the dependency mentioned in the comments has been taken offline.
As is described in various "stickies," in order to get a meaningful answer here you must post a meaningful question. "What are those 'baffling messages?'" How exactly are you attempting to compile it? And, so on.
Particularly in the case of robotics, libraries are extremely important. Because, these are where the "hardware drivers" come from, and maybe some of the programming features that you are taught to rely on. It is very likely that you can simply "Google it," because most such problems endlessly repeat themselves.
