I have been working with your tools for many months — and I don’t change the build settings I’m fine. I have no problems.
But I have explored all the basics and now I need to pull everything together — Wifi, BLE, OTA, MQTT, etc… and now that means I need a master project that has the full range of header files and libraries.
You don’t publish any larger example project with all the dependencies I need.
So, we must have the ability to incrementally increase our projects.
I know you’re not testing this or you would have certainly caught it. I think this is the second time that I’m reporting this over the past year.
Here is some of my build information…. (another single picture only).
I’m writing in C++ — I’m only using ESP Idf (I want to keep the project as simple as possible).
First — let me state that if I were an expert in toolchains and build scripting – I would not need your product. So, I expect that your tool will handle adapting to very simple build changes which are normal and expected.
PROBLEM:
- I build a simple example app like — Wifi Station
- I add a header file for BLE (so I may expand out an example to include all kinds of IDF features).
- Your tool prompts me to add items from IDF (I don’t have good guidance in this area — so I click the green “plus” sign with the default offering. (SEE SINGLE PICTURE ATTACHED)
- CMake scripting fails to add the necessary items to my project — and my project is corrupted.
I WOULD NORMALLY ADD ALL THE PICTURES HERE BUT YOU RESTRICT FILES BASED ON SIZE AND SO I CAN NOT EASILY GIVE YOU THAT…… obviously you detect my protest here.
I’m trying to help you here because I’d like to see one tool get the basics right. I don’t need fringe features — just the common normal stuff done correctly.
AGAIN, if I had time to learn CMake and Ninja — then I would just use the CLI versions of the tools and be done with it.
Do you have any documentation that is a step by step explanation on how to expand out example projects to add references to IDF elements?
I think the problem may be here with the make file.
When you add a new header file which calls for more of the idf — this last line gets appended to the CMakeLists.txt
This appended line doesn’t seem to work correctly.
When I remove this PRIV_INCLUDE_DIRS directive and remove the BT header file from my project — the project recompiles again. No errors.
In this case — am I supposed to click the green plus sign and add to __idf_main?
I loaded up a sample project for Wifi — ran it.
Then I loaded up a sample project for BLE — rant it.
I added the BLE header files to the Wifi STA project and then it fails.
I think this problem has returned… and I did a search for it only to find that I commented about it 7 months ago.
I have a fresh Hell0-World sample app built. It compiles.
I add to it BLE header files — and application complains about missing components in the IDF area (local files).
I confirm that I want to add those files to __idf_main.
This file activity fails and corrupts the CMake process.
I just installed build V5.5 3595
This problem has something to do with the fact that I change the project name (because we can’t use these sample project names of course in our real work!). — but the system is expecting a directory with the project name. That directory does exist.
Looks like my toolchain was corrupted. I renamed my toolchain directory — and allowed the VGDB process to install it.
The build process is working now.
I just upgraded the GDB to 5.5.1 — the new source files are being generated but won’t display in the IDE for some reason.
I’m getting an empty exception:
VisualGDB version: 5.5.1.3274
