Deprecated recipe.ar.pattern

[probonopd]

Arduino 1.6.6 hourly build 201510300355 suggests to consider upgrading this core:

./Arduino_1.6.6_201510300355
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: 
Warning: platform.txt from core 'ESP8266 Modules' contains deprecated recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{build.path}/{archive_file}" "{object_file}", automatically converted to recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{archive_file_path}" "{object_file}". Consider upgrading this core.

Apparently changing this to {archive_file_path} removes the warning in 1.6.6 but breaks compatibility with 1.6.5.
I'm considering to leave the warning in place for now.

[fredericplante]

Ah! The Arduino IDE again. MdR. ;)

Is there any solution to fix that problem?

@fredericplante please double-check which board you have selected in Tools > Board menu.

core 'Arduino ARM (32-bits) Boards' and Warning: platform.txt from core 'Arduino ARM (32-bits) Boards' contains deprecated recipe.ar.pattern makes me think that you have some ARM board selected.

[fredericplante]

I don't know what to say.

When i reaload the right board, i get

+1, also seeing this error

[wireddude]

+1 seeing this too. downgraded to 1.6.5 for now and able to compile & flash just fine.

@igrr - this change seems to break building from Eclipse Arduino: The auto-generate makeFile will generate

Starting combiner
...xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc: error: arduino.ar: No such file or directory
makefile:89: recipe for target 'ESP_Configurable_Wifi_Connection.elf' failed

If I manually replace all instances of core.a with arduino.ar in the makefile and run make from the command line it will build. If I re-run from Eclipse, makefile gets rewritten and the build breaks.

Disclaimer: I don't know much about make and the auto-generation of it. I found 'arduino.ar' in some pref setting (environment/project/it.baeyens.arduino.core.toolChain.release.2078438648/A.ARCHIVE_FILE/value=arduino.ar) but that was also auto-reset when manually replacing it with 'core.a'.

Using Arduino 1.6.7 Hourly Build 2015/12/17 04:29 I installed http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json and installed esp8266 using the Boards Manager, then compiled a sketch, then installed http://arduino.esp8266.com/staging/package_esp8266com_index.json and installed esp8266 using the Boards Manager, and am now getting

Board generic (...) is unknown

Selecting the board again in the menu does not change this. Nor does restarting the IDE.

+1 to "Board generic (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown" when trying to compile anything ( eg blink example ) on 1.6.6 or 1.6.7 releases of IDE ( I'm using OSX). Version 1.6.4, and 1.6.5r5 both work fine.

[Links2004]

for switching between stable and staging a manual delete of the other version is needed or the IDE not know what to use.
delete all esp stuff in the Arduino dir in APP data, and install the esp core new.

[davidbuzz]

@Links2004 I usually rename the entire /Applications/Arduino.app to a different name, which should achieve the same thing, no?

[Links2004]

yes, but keep in mind the IDE changed the path somewhere from 1.6.5 to 1.6.7.
best you can do is add a dir called "portable" where the "arduino.exe" is,
then the IDE will store all stuf inside there.
by this you can have more then one IDE with multiple versions without renaming.

[davidbuzz]

On OSX this worked for me:

1. close the IDE first.
2. renaming the directory ~/Library/Arduino15 to ~/Library/Arduino15-old
3. copying the preferences.txt from the old one to the new one
4. opening 1.6.7 IDE ( latest ) , and entering Tools->Board xx ->Board Manager
5. In Board Manager, re-installing the add-ons I previously had . ( in particular the esp8266 one )
6. Unders Tools->Board, select the correct esp8266 board( for me it's the generic one )
7. compile something that didn't work in 1.6.7 before, and it works fine now.

@davidbuzz That helped, thanks. 👍
