While attempting to compile and upload a sketch using Arduino IDE Ver: 1.8.12 to an ESPRESSIF ESP32 Wrover-B module integrated on an Elecrow ESP32 Display SKU: DIS05035H – 3.5in ILI9488 TFT Display ?
exec: “/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-g”: ++file does not exist
Error compiling for board ESP32 Wrover Kit (all versions).

Hi.
That’s usually an issue with the installation.
Can you upgrade to Arduino IDE 2?
Regards,
Sara

Hello Sara, thank you for your response. I must work with 1.8.12 as the micro on the Elecrow 3.5 in ILI9488 TFT Display has a ESP32 WROVER-B micro which I can not make it work with the 2.x.xx version.
I forgot how to create an Word document to attach/reference with this issue. I have utilized the IDE’s button “Copy Error Message” to creat the compile progress.

As I mentioned, that’s probably an issue with the installation of the ESP32 boards.
Something got corrupted.
So, I recommend unninstalling and reinstalling the ESP32 boards in your Arduino IDE.
Go to IC:\\Users\\Paul\\AppData\\Local\\Arduino15\\packages\\esp32
And delete the esp32 folder.
Then, in your Arduino IDE, install the ESP32 boards again.
P.S. I believe your board should be compatible with the latest Arduino IDE. You can use the same libraries versions and same core versions on Arduino IDE 2. So, the IDE shouldn’t make a difference. Can you recall what the issue was when trying to use the newest Arduino IDE?
