Hi,
First, great work! I've been looking forward to this release all week.

Second, I can't get the new compiler to work and it seems to be a missing set of quotation marks. When I create a new Arduino solution/project and just click on "build", the "Sketch Build" window just shows a bunch of

: No such file or directory.

I turned on the verbose compiler and the problem looks to be in the output filename. Please note the missing quotes around the last argument.

C:\arduino-0022\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-g++ -c -g -Os -w -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -mmcu=atmega328p -DF_CPU=16000000L -DARDUINO=22 -I"C:\arduino-0022\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino" "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\VMicro\Arduino\Builds\asdf\ethernet\asdf.cpp" -oC:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\VMicro\Arduino\Builds\asdf\ethernet\asdf.cpp.o


When I run the command on the  command line, I get similar errors. When I fix the quotes, the errors go away.

thanks.

I meant to add that this is on Windows XP. I'd expect that Vista/Win7 wouldn't have this problem, since they don't use the "documents and settings" path.

Yes, the missing quotes seem to be to the -o parameter. The include paths and the path to the cpp file is properly quoted.

Unfortunately, this means I'm pretty much stuck, unless there is a way to override what the temp folder is.

Oh that's very useful thanks.

The missing quotes have been found and a new version uploaded (10.3)

Thanks very much for the feed back. Let us know how the compile goes on xp

Thanks for the quick turnaround, but it looks like there are many more places. The -g++ command is fixed, but the -gcc is still missing the quotes as are what look to be the assembler commands as well as some others. The last .net exception might just be an artifact of the other problems.

Ah oops. You were right. I missed a lot of places where quotes were needed. I hope I have found them all now.

I've uploaded 10.4

Closer, it looks. Still missing the quotes around the -ar call

Arrgh. So close! looks like the linking step only has the output files, not the input files.

And no I don't, but I've been uninstalling and reinstalling as opposed to upgrading. When I tried 10.2, I wasn't convinced that it upgraded properly, so I've just been following the same pattern.

yes i think you were right. there were another error that would have hit after the error you found. but as you say its near the end. The code after these lines makes the .hex and I think i nailed the uploader earlier.

So please try 10.6 when you get a mo. Thanks

That looks to have got it. When I first tried it with an existing project, it was still failing. It was compiling all of my stuff, but claiming that it couldn't find a library I was using (VirtualWire, FWIW.)

I blew away the AppData directory we've been fighting with and it built successfully. I removed the VirtualWire.cpp.o just for grins and it failed again. It looks like the logic to detect if it needs to rebuild the libs is a bit dodgy.

But, overall, I'm functional. Thanks!

Thanks for the effort.

I'll look into the lib detect. It should be detecting normal compile errors correctly but it's worth a look to see if this type of error can happen under normal circumstances.

It is always good to know that someone other than myself has a fully working system. Normally I only get to hear about the ones that are not working  :)

Please let me know if you find anything else

By the way, if anyone does hit an optimization issues, there are two tools>options>visual micro>compiler options to switch off the compiler optimization. One for core and one for libs.

Well, I've uploaded and used the Serial monitor successfully, too. Everything is looking good. Thanks so much for the effort.
