Hi, any help with this problem much appreciated. My Platformio install is completely non functional because PIO can no longer find avr-g++ after having worked just fine for over a year.
I have looked in the help docs here but adding the line:
platform = platformio/atmelavr@^3.4.0 did not solve the problem.
As far as I can see from help docs, PIO should install dependencies such as avr-g++, but hasn’t in this case.
So I’m not sure how to deal with this and before I remove VSCode and PIO I thought I’d check for advice. Thanks.
Open a commandline with Windows+R → cmd.exe. Execute (without modifications)
"%userprofile%\.platformio\packages\toolchain-atmelavr\bin\avr-gcc" --version
what does it return?
The system cannot find the path specified.
do I need to execute the line from a particular place?
but also just to let you know that the folder \toolchain-atmelavr\ does not contain a folder named bin
the only items in \toolchain-atmelavr\ are a folder named avr and a file called .piopm
I have found avr-gcc by searching C: and it exists in
c:\users\paul\appdata\local\arduino15\packages\arduino\tools (note case is not correct as I typed this path)
That’s the Arduino IDE installation, that’s separate.
Please start a CLI and execute
pio platform install atmelavr --with-package toolchain-atmelavr
Does the original command now return something?
this is what I got when executing
pio platform install atmelavr --with-package toolchain-atmelavr
PS C:\Users\Paul\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Arduino-Master-Radio> pio platform install atmelavr --with-package toolchain-atmelavr
Platform Manager: atmelavr @ 3.4.0 is already installed
Tool Manager: toolchain-atmelavr @ 1.70300.191015 is already installed
The platform 'atmelavr' has been successfully installed!
The rest of the packages will be installed later depending on your build environment.
PS C:\Users\Paul\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\Arduino-Master-Radio>
and the original command (executed in windows commandline )
“%userprofile%.platformio\packages\toolchain-atmelavr\bin\avr-gcc” --version
returns the same as before - The system cannot find the path specified.
thanks for help
What folderes exist within C:\Users\Paul\.platformio\packages?
these:
and within toolchain-atmelavr there is one folder as before called avr and one file .piopm
What folders exist in toolchain-atmelavr, and if possible, therein within bin/?
so although the toolmanager states:
Tool Manager: toolchain-atmelavr @ 1.70300.191015 is already installed
it obviously is not…
i also tried renaming the toolchain-atmelavr folder and then using
pio platform install atmelavr --with-package toolchain-atmelavr
but the result is the same.
how does PIO check if the toolchain is present?
Is the toolchain-atmelavr folder completely empty? It might just check it on folder existance.
Try removing the toolchain-atmelavr folder along with .platformio/.cache (might be a hidden folder).
thanks for this. So now the compiler is back, but I am back to this wire lib error and to try to combat that, I’ve put the reference to the liquid crystal lib in the main.cpp file instead of the header, but still get the below

ok, solved I put wire in lib_deps
thanks very much for getting me going again, much appreciated.
