Cannot compile larger projects on macOS Sierra GM

[mperdue]

I cannot compile the larger projects that I have on macOS Sierra but smaller sketches compile without problems. Two projects I've worked with that show the problem are Marlin and Repetier 3D printer firmware.

https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin
https://github.com/repetier/Repetier-Firmware

I've tried every IDE version from 1.6.9 to the 1.6.11 with no difference in results.

Moreover that's enough to put .cpp/.hpp library to library folder to fail compilation of any sketch.
I put https://github.com/adafruit/TinyXML (that i'm using in another project) and try to compile Blink sample.
Compilation immediately crashes:

Error compiling for board Arduino Leonardo.

[thinkyhead]

Seems to be a general Go language problem. Check out golang/go#16570 for example.

The solution seems to be, rebuild portions of the toolchain that need it with the latest Go, which seems to be version 1.7 from August 15.

[iMikie]

In case it wasn't clear above: this is solved in IDE 1.6.12 Get it from the main Arduino download page. It was fascinating to watch the discussion unfold. Throw 'em a contribution while you're at it!

[Snortimer]

I'm getting this with 1.6.12, and I'm dead in the water for updating my printer firmware (and can't do a job because of it). I was successful compiling and flashing firmware until I upgraded to Sierra; no other changes were made.

I've attempted to compile in 1.6.4, 1.6 12, 1.7.1, and 1.6.7.

It says it's missing u8g.h

[Netoperz]

Same here, everything was fine till installing new os . It's kind of go related i've heard.

Any suggestionshow to fix that and when it will be fixed, downgreading the machines is not possible and whole project is halted because of that issue as we need to test firmware.

Do I must buy windows laptop or what ?

Everytime Apple is publishing new system always arduino is not working and compilers are freaking out. Does anybody test the beta OS X for fixing the bugs before GM showing on software update ?

LOL, same problems year by year....

[iMikie]

I had this problem too and installed 1.6.12 and it's working again. Does your IDE window title include | Arduino 1.6.12?

[Snortimer]

I got it working. I'll check when I get home and post what I did (edit 3-4 files).

@Snortimer did you ever find time to document the fix?

[Snortimer]

Of course not! I moved on to other stuff.

I'll have to look up my fix again and figure it out. It only takes about 3 minutes to implement it.

On the other hand, if you have Windows (which I do on a VM), you can compile it there. I'm not sure what changed with the Mac that made it not work.

I'm sorry I forgot about this! It just sort of fell into the background once I had other stuff to do.
