Can't build Example HTTP server on ESP32

[mattia]

Hello,

I’m using VisualGDB 5.4, and have followed your example https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/esp32/http/

However, when I try to build, I receive a lot of error. Same happens with a lot of examples using the “Embedded project wizard” (which is using ESP-IDF 3.0)

If I try to use the examples included in “ESP32 IDF project wizard”, they compile flawlessly. Could it be related to the ESP-IDF used, which is not compatible with that example?

 

Thank you,

Mattia

Hi,

The regular ESP32 project support (not the new advanced ESP32 IDF project wizard) is based on ESP-IDF 2.x won’t work with examples from other ESP-IDF releases. It also uses a slightly different build process than the original ESP-IDF (in order to be compatible with MSBuild), causing problems with some samples.

This is exactly the reason we designed the new Advanced ESP-IDF Project Subsystem that works on top of ESP-IDF and is fully compatible with it. Please use the new advanced project subsystem (and the corresponding wizard) instead of the regular Embedded Project Wizard.
