Do not understand! There is no ESP8266 connected to my pc. Only Arduino-IDE is runnig.
Each ESP8266 board in the library produce this err when compiling.
How to get an ESP build?

You are already using the latest version of the ESP8266 boards definitions but there is a chance that it is corrupt so I suggest that you delete it and load it again

Go into Tools/Board/Board Manager and search for ESP8266 and you should see something like this

If you do not see that then don't go any further but come back here and report what you see

If you see that version 3.0.2 is installed, which I expect, then click on the Remove button and answer 'Yes' to the next prompt to remove the current ESP8266 board definition then close the window

Go back into Tools/Board/Boards Manager and search for ESP8266 and you should see this

Click 'Install' and the board files will be downloaded an installed. Close the window and try compiling a new sketch with an ESP8266 board selected in Tools/Board/ESP8266 Boards

Report back here and tell us what happens

8

yes, it is 3.0.2

9

Have you tried deleting the ESP8266 board definition and reinstalling it ?

10

Yes I have done. > problem remains
installed 3.0.1 > problem remains
installed 2.7.0 > problem remains

Now doing a complete new installation of the IDE
if problem remains > will do an istalation on an other pc

11

New installation done >problem remains
(seems all settings are taken from the previous installation)
I will try it now on my other pc

12

Works on the other PC. Must have anything to do with the settings in my PC #1.
No idea what .... very frustrating.
Anyhow can live with that situation for the moment.
Thanks for advice!
