ar.exe (Windows) cannot be executed #323

Thank you for the details bug report, @jdmack-uk. I'll look into it. |
I could not reproduce the problem; it worked for me from both the IDE and the CLI only. What happens, when you do the same using the CLI from a command line? You can get a CLI from here. My steps were the followings:
The output was:
Note: I used Git Bash running it. I guess the steps are slightly different from |
Hi @kittaakos, thank you for your help! I put your command into a script called ardutest, to adapt it to my settings.
I used WinMerge to compare your output to mine so I edited them, changing our usernames to "username" and the sketch ID to yours (34C9C83806E62523E2E314562BD9B9BC)
Interestingly, I tried to run ar.exe in GitBash and it gave me the following error:
It is a bit better than "Access is Denied" but still not very helpful. Here is the output of the ardutest script, with the modifications:
Wouldn't it be an idea to compare our executables (avr-gcc-ar.exe, avr-ar.exe and ar.exe)? |
Can you please try to run the same from a
Thank you! |
To cut a long story short, I have been experimenting and the problem seems to be the name of the executable! So what I would like to ask is:
Many thanks! |
Yes. This problem seems to be common and persists a long time ago without a proper solution.
Fortunately, yes. You can tune the I am going to leave this issue open for greater visibility and further references, but I am afraid there is not much the CLI or the Pro IDE can do about it. |
Hi @kittaakos, |
Describe the bug
When "verifying" a sketch (e.g. Blink.ino) I get the following error:
The command calls
...\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/bin/avr-gcc-ar
,but the error comes from
...\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/avr/bin/ar.exe
When I try and execute ar.exe in its folder, I get "Access is denied":
I have checked file permissions and they're OK for my username and Administrators.
I am an Administrator on my laptop, but I also tried right-clicking it and "Run as Administrator", which gives me a message box saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item".
To Reproduce
The attached log file contains these instructions and the relevant contents of the Output pane.

Expected behavior
avr-gcc-ar.exe
should run or the makefile should callavc-ar.exe
(see Additional context)Desktop (please complete the following information):
Additional context
...\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/bin/
there are:avr-gcc-ar.exe (52,736 bytes)
andavr-ar.exe (630,784 bytes)
If I run
avr-gcc-ar.exe
with no parameters, I get the same error message as above:If I run
avr-ar.exe
with no parameters, I get a usage screen:... etc.
If I ask for the version, I get:
And, finally, I had saved the avc-ar.exe from the legacy IDE installation for comparison, and it's the same version as the one in the Pro tools!
Many thanks!
