Can you please do
cat /c/ESP/esp-idf/tools/kconfig/zconf.gperf
and
make V=1
and post the output?

Hi @hardikharpal ,

This looks very similar to another problem we're investigating on Windows. There's something unexpected going on with some paths in MSYS.

If you move the esp-idf & template directories to /home/yourusername inside msys (in Windows this is C:\msys32\home\yourusername), then it should work. I'll let you know once we have a proper fix.

Thank you @igrr @projectgus
@projectgus I tried as you said its showing following error.As my user name contain space I had to add backslash to escape each space within path while using msys32.
cd C:/msys32/home/Hardik\ Harpal/esp-idf-template instead of
cd C:/msys32/home/Hardik Harpal/esp-idf-template

due to space in path its not working in some setups. Is it?

Thanks for working through all this and providing such comprehensive screenshots.

• The original bug is caused if git clones the local repository with CRLF (Windows-style) line endings. The git we provide (part of MSYS2) doesn't use these by default, but many other git for Windows setups do.

There is a fix coming soon so the build system will work with CRLF line endings, but in the meantime if you re-clone with LF (Unix-style) endings then things should work. You may need to explicitly run /usr/bin/git clone in order to get the right version of git.

• You are correct that esp-idf doesn't like spaces in paths. There isn't a lot we can do about this ("make" makes a lot of assumptions about spaces). Sorry for misleading you with the previous suggestion. I've added a note to the docs (also in the pipeline) that project & esp-idf paths should not contain spaces.

Thanks again for your help with this. The issue will be updated when the fixes reach github.

Thank you for detailed explanation and temporary solution for this issue.

Support for CRLFs is now present in master.

Hi,

Is there a way to prevent mingw32 to use the current windows user to create the directory in Home? The thing is that if your windows username have space (in my case : "Christian Lachance"), it will create problems later. How can i change the folder to something without space? I tried to rename the folder to Christian_Lachance but it just make it worst.

Thanks!

Christian.

To trick mingw32.exe used the environment variable HOME to create the home dir. So change this to the new home dir location without spaces and rerun mingw32.exe.
