Arduino: 1.6.5 (Mac OS X), Board: "Generic ESP8266 Module, Serial, 80 MHz, 40MHz, DIO, 115200, 4M (3M SPIFFS)"

In file included from sketch_aug07b.ino:31:0:

Hi,

have you made sure to use the right pubSubClient version? https://github.com/vicatcu/pubsubclient
Because I have at line 80 in PubSubClient.h: boolean subscribe(char *);

i downloaded the pubsubclient from your link but getting the same error.
i deleted all references of PROGMEM from the library and now the sketch is compiling and running ok.
but is it ok to delete PROGMEM will it affect the working of esp8266

Thanks

another question : can i give the esp a fixed ip address

Thanks again

The simple way is to assign it within your DHCP settings at your router
config. But within the sketch you can achieve it with:
WiFi.begin(,);
IPAddress ip(192,168,1,124);
IPAddress gateway(192,168,1,1);
IPAddress subnet(255,255,255,0);
WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet);

but that would be static. Adding this as option to the webconfig would need
some more coding. I'll add it to the roadmap.
