Installing and setting up of ESP32 toolchain

[jandidden]

I just decided to give it one more shot, starting from screatch, with a fresh download.
Surprisingly, the link in the Wiki now points back to the Matrix toolchain page and downloads version 2.3 again.
Let's see what that does now. 4.2.

Ahhh! The old 'Error: No such option: --no-hints Did you mean --no-warnings?'- That no-hints was added to prevent the 'async not supported'.
Where was that again??

Hi Jan.
I replied to your PM about this at 7.46 this morning, and the message is still showing in the outbox.

As you have not read it, can you check that you can see the PM?
Many thanks for the spot.
That has now been corrected as the toolchain should only be downloaded from our website here

Fixing that, hoping that the 'async not supported' doesn't come back.

Sit back, tense -

Code: Select all

I will be drunk the rest of the day, also declare the PC off limits.
I should probably have gone to church more as a kid.

@Martin/medelec35 - sorry I hadn't seen your PM.
Thanks for all -

Thanks, Jan.
Now I have corrected the Wiki instruction it looks like you are up and running, which is great!

Addendum: it's not just the toolchain that cannot handle spaces in filenames for it's own stuff, also the target project file cannot be in a directory with spaces in the path. But you probably already knew that.

Hi, Jan it might just be the folder has not got the required permission.
I have just compiled this successfully.

Code: Select all

Source name:   D:\App Developer RTC Prog V1.1 Working\XLoader\Test the new istallaion of esp32\BME280 Altitude v1a TTGO.fcfx

I just placed the project file into a random folder with spaces.
Also, you can see the project name has spaces.

The last part of the results, compiling to hex:

Interesting. I also thought that it worked beginning of the year before the meltdown. But now it definitely has issues on my system with spaces. The 'with spaces' folder is a OneDrive folder, but that was also in the beginning, no change.

I just got another Gotcha - if you put an ampersand '&' in the filename it also fails, with pieces of file paths inserted in some places that are completely wrong.

Edit: it may be the difference between a OneDrive file on the local PC or in the cloud. Normally that doesn't make a difference - the system just downloads any file it needs to the local PC if needed.
Maybe FC doesn't? Although I would think it is a file system function, not FC.

I'll be d*mmed. Took one of the charts that compiled successfully. Saved it in the OneDrive folder with spaces.
Still compiles successfully.

Edit: after I set that particular folder to 'keep local copy on this machine'.

Put an & in the filename: build failed
Replaced the & by aaa: build successfully.

Hello, I have a question: in my project I configured ds1307 as I had no other solutions while in my built circuit I placed a PCf8563 rtc because I don't have a ds1307. Can this work in the circle?
