Hello there!
I am facing problem when I want to upload any source code to my Arduino Uno. There is an error message. But I couldn't understand it. Please Help!

Error Message:

Error compiling for board Arduino Uno.

Is this the first time that you try to compile something? Or did it work in the past?

Does C:\\Program Files\\Arduino\\hardware\\tools\\avr/bin/avr-g++ exist? If not, I suspect that you have a corrupt installation of the IDE.

It looks like you did not update the AVR board package to 1.8.6; a simple way to solve your problem might be to do the upgrade to AVR board package 1.8.6.

Note:
I can imagine where your confusion comes from but this is not really a programming question. I've moved your topic to the dedicated IDE 1.x section of the forum.

Thanks a lot for your kind reply!

I updated the board manager. And now, it seems to me that the problem is gone. Previously, I tried to solve that problem by restarting the IDE which was helpful for many times.

However, Thanks a lot.
