Error after upgraded Arduino IDE 1.6.6

[Super169]

Just upgraded the Arduino IDE from 1.6.5r2 to 1.6.6, and it will return error of "No such file or directory" for core.a whenever I compile the sketch, even for the dummy blank sketch BareMinimum.

May I know if there has any setting need to be changed for using Arduino 1.6.6?

Try next: W7-W8-8.1, X:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr, rename or del file "platform.txt", restart ST2 or ST3. Enjoy!

I'm getting the following error on OS X: /Applications/arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avr-ar: {archive_file_path}: Permission denied Checked file permissions, its all good. The file runs fine from the command line.

[MarikSx]

@fletchjeff try the find file with name "{archive_file_path}" in your system. had the same problem on Win 7, in root disk was file "{archive_file_path}", i del him and problem disappeared.

[fletchjeff]

I couldn't find a file like that on my systems. I did find are reference to it inside the platform.txt file though.

Could it be a version problem maybe? Stino thinks I'm running Arduino 1.6.6, but I'm running 1.6.9

@fletchjeff I renamed platform.txt to platform.backup.txt and it worked. File is located here on OSX: /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/arduino/avr/

[fletchjeff]

@bgiovand Tried that, but the problem remains. Any other options to try. I can't work out which file its trying to call.

[fletchjeff]

I have dug a bit and in the platform.txt file there is a line:

recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}"

The compiler is failing when it gets to here, which I assume is specified by that line:

"avr-ar" rcs "{archive_file_path}" "/tmp/Stino_build/temp/core_arduino/hooks.c.o" /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avr-ar: {archive_file_path}: Permission denied

Somewhere, something is not setting the {archive_file_path} value correctly. Does anyone know where that value should be set in the compile process? I can only find references to archive_file_name.

[fletchjeff]

Right, seems to be fixed. I just removed all platform*.txt from the /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/arduino/avr directory, and restarted Sublime Text.

[Super169]

Thanks a lot. The problem can be fixed after I remove the platform.txt. But will it affect the arduino IDE if I remove this file?

[fletchjeff]

@Super169 It does affect the IDE. I tried to open the IDE and it simply wouldn't load. I put the file back, and it loaded. But, much to my surprise, Stino still works. I have no idea why.

[jonathansabbah]

Works for me !

[MartinBloedorn]

@fletchjeff Had the same issue. Your fix (removing the file, reloading Stino, putting file back) works for me too. Thanks a lot!

[halfnibble]

I just noticed that arduino.app is lower-cased in my error message, but the actual folder is with a capital "A" as in Arduino.app.

[halfnibble]

It appears that @fletchjeff fix is a one-trick pony. Once you put the file back, and reload SublimeText, it fails to compile again. :( (For a new project).

[halfnibble]

Ah ha! I have a solution that makes ST3 w/ Stino and Arduino IDE both happy.

Modify the problem platform.txt line (with the {archive_file_path} text) to the following: recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{build.path}/{archive_file}" "{object_file}"

Basically, replace {archive_file_path} with {build.path}/{archive_file}

This will allow ST3 with Stino to compile, and Arduino IDE will also compile withe following warning:

Warning: platform.txt from core 'Arduino AVR Boards' contains deprecated recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{build.path}/{archive_file}" "{object_file}", automatically converted to recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}". Consider upgrading this core.

works for me! Thanks!
