Compatibility with Arduino 1.6.6?

[chrisspen]

After installing Arduino 1.6.6, ino build fails with the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ino", line 6, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ino/runner.py", line 76, in main
    args.func(args)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ino/commands/build.py", line 285, in run
    self.make('Makefile.sketch')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ino/commands/build.py", line 215, in make
    ret = subprocess.call([self.e.make, '-f', makefile, 'all'])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 522, in call
    return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 710, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1327, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Inspecting the code, it's trying to call the binary /usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/make which no longer seems to exist in 1.6.6.

I worked around this error by symlinking the standard /usr/bin/make into that hard-coded location. However, then I received the error:

No such file or directory: /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino

This error is reported in other issues, and the fix is to symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/avr/cores /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/
sudo ln -s /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/avr/boards.txt /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino

But now I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ino", line 6, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ino/runner.py", line 64, in main
    e.process_args(args)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ino/environment.py", line 263, in process_args
    all_models = self.board_models()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ino/environment.py", line 204, in board_models
    subdict[key] = {}
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment

[chrisspen]

It seems the format of boards.txt has changed slightly, causing ino's parsing of the file to fail. I fixed this error by patching line 204 in environment.py with:

for key in multikey[:-1]:
    if key not in subdict:
        subdict[key] = {}
    if not isinstance(subdict[key], dict):
        subdict[key] = {}
    subdict = subdict[key]

I also had to add a symlink for the variants folder:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/avr/variants /usr/share/arduino/hardware/arduino/variants

However, now I'm stuck on the error:

avr-gcc: error trying to exec '/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/../libexec/gcc/avr/4.8.1/cc1plus': execv: Argument list too long

[chrisspen]

The fix for this last error is mentioned in https://github.com/amperka/ino/issues/251. Setting recursive=False in recursive_inc_lib_flags of build.py is the problem, as it generates a list of include paths too long for avr-gcc.

Please let me know if I should submit a patch. I still have an outstanding pull request, so if this package is no longer being maintained, I won't waste my time.

Did all your amendments result in a functional copy of ino? I am asking to see if it is worth doing?

[chrisspen]

I've given up on ino. I recommend using ano instead, which is a more recently maintained fork.

[Gasman2014]

Shame but thanks - some config problems with ano too ;(
