Arduino / ESP32 Issue SOLVED | avr-g++: no such file or directory avr g : no such file or directory

avr-g++: no such file or directory Issue solved
xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: no such file or directory

Mish Mash Labs presents a fix to the compiler issue that presents itself. This issue can resolved in 3 ways, the first of which is demonstrated here.

1. Click the link on the line following File - Preferences - More preferences can be edited directly in the file. This will open the /Users/username/Library/Arduino15 folder.

3. Restart the Arduino IDE

The second involves removing the avr board from the board manager, this can be done by installing an older version and then reinstalling the most up to date version.

The third and most drastic includes a full uninstall of the Arduino IDE, followed by a fresh install of the most up to date version of the program.

OMG. You saved my life!! I looked into the "more preference" and found out the file name was somehow in another language. That's why the Arduino couldn't read the file name!! Thanks a lot!

Finally, thank you, I’ve searched everywhere and couldn’t find a soulution, thankfully this works

exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH%

any idea for above error?

This also worked for a board manager error java.lang.NullpointException, when trying to update the board, this led to: fork/exec /bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: no such file or directory, which stopped the compiler. But, your fix worked beautifully, once those files in Arduino15 are removed, I re-downloaded the ESP32 board, and got the proper ESP32 Dev. Module back, and everything compiled like a charm! Thanks so much, you are totally awesome!!

Thanku so much ❤🎉 I watched some videos but nothing worked but this one worked❤

[lorenzothepasta]

Thank you so much!!! This fixed my problem!

It's actually due to the "File Name" of the file which you had created as Arduino IDE does not support many Special Characters in its filenname.

Thanks, it worked for me on an M1 MacBook.

deleting the files didnt work for me, but the second solution of reinstalling the IDE did. Great video

Thank you so much!! Solved my problem "exec: "/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-g++": file does not exist" in VSCode.

Sorry, but i can't follow your speaking english. You are to fast. I can't understand it to translate it. What do you do with the files and folders without preferences.txt? On Raspberry Pi 4 I can't see "move to bin". Headerror!!
