Incombatilibity whit nextion dispaly and chipkit (2.0.3) sd library

[pgunzelmann]

Hello,

inside of sd Library of chipkit are following defintions:
boolean exists(char *filepath);
boolean mkdir(char *filepath);
boolean remove(char *filepath);
boolean rmdir(char *filepath);
if I compare with the adruino definitons (for adruino bards) i find
// Methods to determine if the requested file path exists.
boolean exists(const char *filepath);
boolean exists(const String &filepath) { return exists(filepath.c_str()); }

// Create the requested directory heirarchy--if intermediate directories
// do not exist they will be created.
boolean mkdir(const char *filepath);
boolean mkdir(const String &filepath) { return mkdir(filepath.c_str()); }

// Delete the file.
boolean remove(const char *filepath);
boolean remove(const String &filepath) { return remove(filepath.c_str()); }

boolean rmdir(const char *filepath);
boolean rmdir(const String &filepath) { return rmdir(filepath.c_str()); }
May you will change.

I run into this issue trying out to use nextion library in combination whit chip kit.

The SD library is horrendously out of date and very nasty anyway. Where possible I recommend to use DFATFS instead, but I guess in this case you can't.

Since it's just missing const attributes it should be simple enough to fix though.

Possible fix in #404

Followup:
By using Boards Manager and installed chipKIT by chipKIT Community Version 2.0.3 the issue still exists.
How do i know at which time will the change be included at package_chipkit_index.json ?
Thanks for supportig so far, a manual copy of the chaged sd files run excellent ,;)

This change will be in the next released version. It takes time for that to happen. There's other fixes we need to get out there too.
