WIFI Gateway using ESP8266 error during compile

[jhussain]

I am trying to setup Building a WiFi Gateway using ESP8266 and followed the instructions carefully. When I tried to compile using Arduino IDE 1.9.0, I get the following error: exit status 1
Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module ).
Please help what is missing or what I am doing wrong?

Arduino: 1.9.0-beta (Windows 8.1), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, 4M (1M SPIFFS), v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200"

@jhussain see earlier answers here

I went through the replies as pointed out but none solve the issue.

I tried to close Arduino IDE 1.9.0 and start all over again but get the same compilation error.
Any comprehensive solution will be appreciated.

I can compile examples in IDE and they all run OK, so I do not think I have any hardware/software issue with IDE.

Thanks.

@jhussain downgrading the esp8266 board files to version 2.4.1 did not help?

@mfalkvidd You mean I should try 2.4.1? I will do that today or so and report back.

Thanks.
