Can't compile because of 'particle::SPISettings' and make errors

someone else ran into this a while back:

does the C:\Users\jhdil\.particle\toolchains\buildtools\1.1.0\tmp directory exist?

if not, please run Particle: Reset Environment, let the install process complete, and check to see whether or not the C:\Users\jhdil\.particle\toolchains\buildtools\1.1.0\tmp directory was added.
