Build issue (probably PEBCAK) about homepoint HOT 8 CLOSED

I fixed this problem by manually cleaning the project folder and adding -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" generator argument to cmake when making the project, since the implicit generator was visual studio one and it basically wanted to build an uncompilable cmake garbage out of the project. idf.py uses ninja generator. I did not try that one.

Hey, I think there's a hint in there:
Try going to the directory for esp-idf and run git submodule update --init --recursive, could be that you forgot after checking out that specific commit? At least thats what happens to me occasionally :)

Wauw, fastest reply ever! Thanks for that...

Tried your suggestion, same error:

I don't see anything unusual in CMakeOutput.log (but I must confess that my make/C/C++ skills are very rusty)

Are you using the new toolchain for ESP-IDF 4.0+ ?

If youre on linux, this might help: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux64-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.tar.gz

from homepoint.

That's the one I used...

On this page, they also mention the 5.2 version : https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/get-started-cmake/linux-setup.html

😕

And thanks again for the swift replies!

Weird, you can take a look at https://github.com/sieren/Homepoint/blob/master/.travis.yml and see if you did the same during setup.

What I just realised looking at your pastes, you didnt clean ESP-IDF when you switched branches/commits. Always run git clean -x -f -f -d and make sure there are no untracked leftovers (in your case, some components from a prior ESP-IDF commit).

I just merged a new PR that updates HomePoint for the releases/v4.0 branch of ESP-IDF instead of an arbitrary commit.

@MostEmpire Thank you. Your answer helped me in solving this problem
