So quitted the IDE, and removed as you asked the folders, then installed the esp8266 1.6.2 version and yes it compiles.
I did not succeeded in downloading the code to the device.
I quitted the IDE and removed again the packages and stating area and gave a try to the community package.
- with a esp8266 generic device, yes it compiles but did not succeed to download.
- with a nodemcu v1.0 version, yes it compiles and it downloads.
Thank you for this !
I also downloaded a firmware directly and that works with the same hardware (cable and device using

Since those generic esp8266 device are sometimes not predictable, and knowing I can compile and download on the same devices with a windows 7 desktop, I guess I must find the correct combination of cable-pin connection ;-)
