I cant compile anything!

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi,
I have a problem with compiling anything in arduino ide... When i start compile a blank project with setup() and draw(), then i get this error... every time ... I try it reinstall to another version or use Visual Micro, but i still get this error ... And i dont know why ...

Before this error (about two weeks), it's working normally, but now its not working anymore :frowning:
Sorry for my bad english :slight_smile:

Thanks for help -_-

Looks like the linker is screwing up the optimizations very badly. I don't believe I've seen that one before.

For sanity check - I would:

uninstall the IDE.

Blow away the Arduino15 folder (C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\Arduino15 ) - note that AppData may be hidden, so you may need to enable viewing hidden folders.

reinstall 1.8.2 of IDE.

That's the reinstall dance - after that you know you have a clean 1.8.2 installation.

I am afraid, I am seeing the same type of error. I have tried to delete ...AppData\Local\Arduino15
AppData\Local\Temp\arduino*
reinstall, upgrade to new version of distribution and also downgrade, run from windows self-installation package arduino-1.8.7-windows.exe as well as from zip, nothing helps. The whole thing used to work on the same computer (windows 7). I am not sure what caused it to stop (could be using some library)?
It looks like there must be some leftover in disk/registers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
