Collector2.exe not found error compiling BBCMicrobit code with Arduino IDE

Using Arduino Microcontrollers

Hi,

I have just extended my ARDUINO IDE 1.8.1 to add Sandeep Mistry's nRF board extension to my IDE. I followed the installation instructions in:

However, when I try to compile the example code it fails with error:

Arduino: 1.8.1 (Windows 10), Board: "BBC micro:bit, None"

collect2.exe: fatal error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

exit status 1
Error compiling for board BBC micro:bit.

Any ideas what I am missing from the installation?

Thanks

Peter

I'm going to request that you post the full verbose compilation output. Hopefully that will give us a clue to the cause of the error.

Please do this:

  • (In the Arduino IDE) click File > Preferences
  • Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: > compilation
  • Click "OK"
  • Sketch > Verify/Compile
  • After the compilation fails you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button.
  • In a forum reply here, click on the reply field.
  • Click the </> button on the forum toolbar. This will add the forum's code tags markup to your reply.
  • Press "Ctrl + V". This will paste the compilation output between the code tags.
  • Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.

If the length of the output exceeds the forum's 9000 character limit, save it in a .txt file and post it here as an attachment. If you click the "Reply" button you'll see the "Attachments and other options" link.
