Hey,  
So i wanted to flash my electron via cloud. If I use CLI to flash the .bin file it works. But when i call

```auto
Particle: Cloud Flash

```

inside Workbench it wont work. (Local Flash works)

The output in the Workbench is very long, here is the part with the error:

```auto
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
../../../build/module.mk:232: recipe for target 'target/workspace.elf' failed
make[1]: *** [target/workspace.elf] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/firmware/modules/electron/user-part'
../build/recurse.mk:11: recipe for target 'modules/electron/user-part' failed
make: *** [modules/electron/user-part] Error 2
Flash device failed: Compiler encountered an error
Error: Command failed with exit code 1: c:\Users\PhilippOverath\.vscode\extensions\particle.particle-vscode-core-1.9.0\src\cli\bin\windows\amd64\particle.exe cloud flash Pydro_E2 --target 1.4.4 --no-update-check
Targeting version: 1.4.4

```

Any ideas?

Btw. I am using two libraries:  
Metro.h  
Ubidots.h

Could be that it is the libraries?

Thanks

The interesting bit is _not_ in there tho'

```plaintext
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

```

indicates that the actual error has already occured before that during the linker run

Alright,  
the whole output is too long to post here (\>70k).  
For what shall I look in the output. Any special keywords?

Usually the linker output is usually max. a couple of dozend lines up from the line I quoted.

I found the error.  
It was some library problem with Adafruit\_DHT.h and Adafruit\_DHT\_particle.h and double definitions. Even if I didn’t have those libraries included in my main file. I then saw that they were defined as dependencies in project.properties, i gues some leftovers from my first testing with the electron.  
After removing them from the project.properties list it worked.

Thanks
