I can compile the standard Model01-firmware without problems. OSx, Catalina. Everything installed via brew and repositories via git directly. I’m trying to compile the vanilla shapeshifter example: [https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope-ShapeShifter](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope-ShapeShifter) .

When I run make, I get some errors that seem to have to do with a key map being defined elsewhere or that progmem is used in this example, but not in the default version:

ShapeShifter has been merged into the main Kaleidoscope repository, the old repo is obsolete, and uses APIs we have since deprecated, sometimes even removed. See the updated [docs](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/blob/master/doc/plugin/ShapeShifter.md) and [example](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/tree/master/examples/Keystrokes/ShapeShifter) instead.

Thanks, it works@ If I start here: [https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Core-Plugins](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Core-Plugins) then I land up at the ‘wrong’ page.
