Thank You,
That would be much appreciated. I wanted to use the latest BLE advancements in the ESP32-IDF and thought maybe I turn to Eclipse while you work on the project subsystem.
Kind of ranting but i think someone has to say no to poor solutions..
My experience is that to fulfill ESP-IDF for Windows and IDE like Eclipse I had to bring in all the tools familiar to Linux developers made in the last 15 years. My life is then spent in various blends of terminal windows and when finished you can hardly even build from within Eclipse. Bluetooth development has a high degree of complexity, but I never get there. Instead I end up dealing with if paths have slashes to the right or left or if a drive letter has a colon or not. Things that Bill Gates and his team created/caused the two first weeks after Microsoft was founded. What tools you install seems to be based on which can handle windows paths.
So it is 2018 and we are cloud based and still on a level where you can not to tell programs where files are located.
After installing all the tools in the world it is like moving back to 1985. I started to think – as this is no longer Windows, maybe I install a Linux environment and do what everyone else does?
Please hurry with the project subsystem and grab me by my feet to pull me out of this mess.
P.S My system builds fine in VS2017 and VGDB 5.3 and uploads to an ESP32 in less than 2 seconds. I just want to use the latest ESP-IDF and possibly stay up to date cloning the ESP-IDF repository now and then.
Oki,
The esp32.props file has a header <Project ToolsVersion=”4.0″ xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003″>
And the VisualGDB project has an MSBuild tab. Could it still be GCC?
If only weeks away, it sounds like a much better idea to be able to adapt directly to the ESP-IDF being in rapid development. Looking forward to trying the new concept as soon as it is released.
..It is easier to edit your posts in https://stackoverflow.com. Why?
