three_0_one, welcome to the forum!
Could you provide a little more information such as which version of Windows you are using and which IDE version?
Have you tried removing and re-installing the ESP8266 library?
I have not, how do I go about doing that?
My IDE is 2.0.3, I just up graded it and now the IDE wont upload anything
To re-install the board library, first close the IDE, then delete the folder:
I presume you have already added the following URL to 'Additional Boards Manager URL's in File -> Preferences?
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
You should then be able to install the board again from Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager
I agree with BitSeeker that an re-install will be the best bet to try to solve it. You seem to have a corrupt installation of the board package.
Your original problem in the opening post is about a missing compiler. In above quoted text you're talking about upload; is there a confusion about the terminology?
Can you compile for e.g. an Uno? And if you have a board like that, can you upload to it?
So far i understand you are using windows, but it seems to me that it compiles to linux.
Based on what?
The C:\Users\jm**\AppData etc. etc. is Windows, the ELF extension is mostly used in Linux.
The elf is just part of the file name; it could have been anything. I do not know why the ESP people decided to have elf in the filename. I run Windows and I have a lot of files containing elf in the installation for my ESP8266.
The elf extension is part of the compiler; it creates extensible and linkable files.
