My verbose appears "unable to cache built core"

Question

At early morning i have accidentally the error of GNOME for my OS, so I was forced reinstall my OS couse i don't have any backup for my packages and my database. i'm installed Arduino-IDE 1.8.7, Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.23 and Esp8266 Boards 2.4.2 . when i trying to upload my sketch, i get this error:

...
Unable to cache built core, please tell esp8266 maintainers to follow https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Arduino-IDE-1.5-3rd-party-Hardware-specification#recipes-to-build-the-corea-archive-file
...

I see the link, but i cannot see where my archive variable in platform file for my cores.

...
## Create archives
recipe.ar.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd}" {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} "{build.path}/arduino.ar" "{object_file}"
...

See my verbose log !!!.

I don't think so if i have permissions issue, it seems my boards is fine about my permissions.

Solved

I think when i installed Esp8266 Boards 2.4.2 latest version is fine, i uploaded my sketch and i cannot make cache to my built core, Majenko is right, my the snippet of config are difference between my 74hc139 issue and my verbose log issue.

when i installed fresh Esp8266 Boards using boards manager, that automatically downloads source code of esp8266 core on this Github, i don't understand why my snippet of config not updated like this commit. so i updated my config of boards with copy/paste on tree links of Github, and that's works.

See my verbose below or see at this :

Hope anyone can solve my issue, Thanks in advance.

• Juraj: turn on in Preferences the verbose output for console. you will see the path
• abu-ahmed al-khatiri: @Juraj i turn on at my command line absolutely.
• Majenko: You may have some file permission errors in tour home directory. Check ownership.
• abu-ahmed al-khatiri: Juraj i'm on my Ubuntu, Majenko i don't think so i have permissions issue.
• abu-ahmed al-khatiri: Juraj Majenko see my verbose paste.ubuntu.com/p/2n6GVkgM3m

Answer 1

This was fixed on the 20th August in this commit. Make sure you have the latest version of the ESP8266 core installed. If there hasn't been a release since that fix, you can pull the github version of the config file and use that instead of the one bundled with the core.

However, it's not a fatal error - it merely means that compilation will be slower than it should be.

• abu-ahmed al-khatiri: Thanks, i think so, i found it too, i still editing before.
