Ok, but what is the problem you are experiencing? You need to provide code and errors if you want some help

The include mysensors.h needs to go after the defines, otherwise it can not know how you want the gateway to behave

[Fat Fly]

Line 84 a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token
I put these 2 line with include after defines.

I think you forgot to close a parenthesis in the receive function. If you like a more helping programming interface, you can install visual studio and the extension Visual Micro that are much better than Arduino IDE and help you also visually with parenthesis and auto completion of functions and variables names.

I use linux. Ubuntu. For linux what software ?

[gohan]

Maybe eclipse, but I'm not much into Linux, sorry.

Here is some code that does exactly what was asked for:
