hi to all,
need help plz

I'd uninstall the Arduino IDE and reinstall the latest version.. 1.8.1 (Although, you can install 1.6 and up are all ok)

[natan115]

did it, didn't help.

[Bob-the-Kuhn]

Try the following:

1. download a new copy of RCBugFix
2. unzip it
3. compile it as is (no changes to anything)

If it compiles then do your changes a few at a time. Make sure you use the Configuration.h and Configuration_adv.h files that came with the new download.

If it doesn't compile then try 1.6.12 or 1.6.13.

If it still doesn't compile then remove Arduino completely and re-install it. To remove Arduino completely do the following:

1. Go to program manager and uninstall if Arduino shows up there.
2. Delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino directory and all similarly named directories.
3. Delete the Arduino15 directory. On my Win10 machine it's at C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Local\Arduino15*.

How have you been installing Arduino - Windows Installer or Windows ZIP ? This time use the other method.

If you end up using the ZIP method then try this:

1. Unzip the package to a convenient location
2. Drill down until you find arduino.exe and then double click it.

If it still doesn't compile then I'm out of ideas.

Also try to compile any example like blink.

These:

WARNING: Category '' in library EEPROM is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
WARNING: Category '' in library SPI is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
WARNING: Category '' in library SoftwareSerial is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'
WARNING: Category '' in library Wire is not valid. Setting to 'Uncategorized'

Are signs of a bad IDE install. They are too major of an error to be Marlin specific.

Digging specifically into the "Setting to 'Uncategorized'" error, that seems to be related to the 'library.properties' file used by recent versions of the IDE.
It looks like you have an older version of the board support files. Open the Boards Manager, update the Arduino AVR Boards package, and see if that helps.

https://faqs.bareconductive.com/hc/en-gb/community/posts/206420439-problems-uploading-TOUCH-MP3-on-Arduino-1-6-7

So, in that time googling, I found that you have multiple library issues. Being that those are IDE installed libraries, you can try to update the libraries in the library manager.

The board error:

Warning: platform.txt from core 'Arduino AVR Boards' 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.

Try updating the AVR boards in the board manager. This could also be you using a non - official stable release of the IDE.

When removing the IDE.... delete the directory it was in BEFORE installing it again.

I can replicate this error, brand new installation of Arduino 1.8.1, in macOS Sierra 10.12.3
Blink won't compile. Didn't work either with Arduino 1.6.9

the problem is within Marlin AVR Board. If you change to the default boards section, both blink and Marlin compile and uploads fine

[Bob-the-Kuhn]

I don't understand.

What's a "Marlin AVR Board"? I see an Arduino AVR section in the Arduino IDE's board selection menu.

Can you explain what you mean by "If you change to the default boards section"? Is this in the Arduino IDE?

What board did you have selected before and what board did you finally end up with?

[sergiomajluf]

When I downloaded Marlin, there was a folder for the firmware itself, and also some libraries and hardware folders for the Arduino environment, specific to the Arduino version you are using, that you copy into ~/Arduino/Libraries and ~/Arduino/hardware.

Now that I think about it, maybe those are legacy files from Marlin < 1.0???

Anyway, after copying those files, within Arduino Tool menu I get this:
![Arduino Tool Menu, Then boards]
(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1q8fetlcpuzntrv/Screenshot%202017-03-12%2000.07.18.png)

As you can see, there is a section below. I'm using the default Arduino Mega and things are apparently working. I can upload, and just wired some motors and I can control XYZ

[Bob-the-Kuhn]

"also some libraries and hardware folders for the Arduino environment, specific to the Arduino version you are using"

Yes, I see that in Marlin 1.0.2. All those are for old versions of the Arduino IDE. They are not needed for 1.6.x & 1.8.x Arduino.

omg I fought with this for two days. I did the same thing... copied the IDE add-ons into 1.8.1 and got all the same compile errors above. Once I started with clean install of 1.8.1 and was able to compile 1.1.0-RC8. Though now the X,Y and Z steppers seem to be mixed up. Probably a configuration issue I need to sort out. Thanks for the tip @Bob-the-Kuhn
