Problems compiling using latest esp32-idf

[David]

Hello,
I'm trying to use esp32 as a BMP and found this.
I'm having troubles trying to compile with latest esp32-idf. Tried on platform.io on windows, through cmd.exe and with ubuntu with no success.
Problems with MakeFile and not existing CMakeLists.txt, with the instructions regarding the compile command (build_esp32.h / idf.py build) and so on. It must be very simple to fix/update the proper files and instructions (supposing i'm not doing anything wrong), so, could someone please help? Thanks!

Things I've done:

Had to change platfom.ini

; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
;   Advanced options: extra scripting
;
; Please visit documentation for the other options and examples
; https://docs.platformio.org/page/projectconf.html

[platformio]
src_dir = main
lib_dir = components

[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
src_dir = main
lib_dir = components
board = esp32dev
framework = espidf
lib_deps_dir = target

And tasks.json

{
    "version": "2.0.0",

    "args": ["-c"],
    "type": "shell",
    "presentation" : { "reveal": "always" },

                }
            }
        },
        {
            "label": "clean app",
            "args": ["make app-clean"]
        },
        {
            "label": "monitor",
            "args": ["make monitor"]
        },
        {
            "label": "flash app",
            "args": ["make app-flash"]
        }
    ]
}

For latest version. Clone this https://github.com/Ebiroll/blackmagic
Then follow intructions in src/platforms/esp32. Not sure how well it will work in windows though.

I have commited fixes to allow compile with platform Io but only with version 3.3 of esp-idf

[David]

So, I have to use version 3.3 only for platform.io, understood.

[Ebiroll]

Yes. I had some Issues building with platform.io with the latest esp-idf. But both versions worked for me. I also added possibility to use JTAG and updated to latest version of the original BMP code. Have not been able to test JTAG yet.

I've been fighting to build it but had no luck. Neither with platform.io, nor Ubuntu wsl under Windows with esp-idf v3. 3 / 4.0... Bmp code builds fine, but when I rebase your code and main original branch, then, problems arise, related with all esp-idf toolchain I guess. https://pastebin.com/SHPaZ38q
I think it is a problem on my side, but would appreciate if you could take a look at the pastebin and tell me what I'm missing.
Thank you.

[Ebiroll]

Close but no cigar.
With cmake you need the latest version of esp-idf. Maybe the latest released version also works. (4.1) Then do
3.3 worked with platform.io for me.

. ~/esp/esp-idf/setup.sh
> cd src/platforms/esp32
#Check the platform.h files amd make sure that the pins are OK.
# check main.c for password and SSID of your wifi
#Run build script.
> build-esp32.sh
Uplload with run-esp.sh

[David]

Finally, I've managed to build it. I had to:

• on platform.ini, add:
  build_unflags = -Werror=all
• on .vscode\c_cpp_properties.json -> change esp-idf paths to Windows one. I think this is not necessary, because this file is generated by platform.io on the fly.

Thanks for all!
