ESP32 unable to build hell_world with "master" branch

[kevinn]

Hi

I imported the “hello_world” project in Visual Studio with VisualGDB and got this error when try to build it.

Note: If I build it from mingw32 windows using “make” command it work fine.

Look like the script is missing something?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:\DevTools\VisualGDB\esp-idf\master\tools\ldgen\ldgen.py”, line 22, in <module>
from fragments import FragmentFileModel
File “C:\DevTools\VisualGDB\esp-idf\master\tools\ldgen\fragments.py”, line 20, in <module>
from sdkconfig import SDKConfig
File “C:\DevTools\VisualGDB\esp-idf\master\tools\ldgen\sdkconfig.py”, line 18, in <module>

How do I troubleshoot it?

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for updating your forum email. This looks like a known bug in the master branch of the ESP-IDF. When building with CMake on Windows, it tries running the Python script directly instead of using the toolchain’s python executable. As a result, the script doesn’t work properly.

You can reproduce this outside VisualGDB by building the project with idf.py (wrapper for CMake/Ninja build).

The easiest workaround would be to use GNU Make instead of CMake for affected projects until Espressif fixes the issue.
