Make menuconfig

[Dema323]

Hi im running into some issues with the make menuconfig part. There is something i am missing but i can't figure out what. When i run the make menuconfig i receive the following error:

Makefile:10: /path/to/esp-idf/make/project.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/path/to/esp-idf/make/project.mk'.  Stop.

I never used the esp tools before so im not so good with it. Thank you for your time !

Do you have setup IDF_PATH in your environment? Check it with printenv IDF_PATH.

`maxim@DESKTOP-SBL495D MINGW32 ~/esp-idf/ESP32_Alexa
$ printenv IDF_PATH
/path/to/esp-idf

maxim@DESKTOP-SBL495D MINGW32 ~/esp-idf/ESP32_Alexa
$
`

this is the output i get

/path/to/esp-idf This needs to be real path to esp-idf folder on you system. Use: export IDF_PATH=... where ... is real path. On windows it will be something like that: /c/msys32/home/maxim/esp-idf where c is drive letter where you have your msys32 and i am assuming you have msys32 in top level folder.

Right, i don't know how i missed that. I was copying without actually reading. Dumb mistake. Thank you for your time, im gonna try it now but i should be able to figure it out now. Thanks again !

serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port 'C:/Users/maxim/Desktop/m sys32/dev/ttyUSB5': WindowsError(2, 'The system cannot find the file specified. ')

I seem to have some issues with the port, i need COM 5 and from what i understand it can't access it ? I also tried /dev/ttyUSB05 but no luck. Any ideas ?

[chegewara]

make menuconfig and change port in serial flasher config menu to com5.

[Dema323]

so /dev/ttyusbCOM5 ?

[chegewara]

its for linux, on windows you have to use only com5

    raise SerialException("could not open port {!r}: {!r}".format(self.portstr, ctypes.WinError()))
serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port 'COM5': WindowsError(5, 'Access is denied.')

im sorry my atom editor was holding the port open, when i closed it the port was open for the program to execute.
