Error on compile.

Hi I get a Error when I try and compile the code.

this is the output:

any ideas? this is my makefile: http://pastebin.com/kyHVRhM8

I guess you are using the latest version of esptool which looks like it has changed it's command line options. I have this problem at the moment as well, I'm looking into it will let you know what I find

Ok I modified the make file to add a new target as follows, and the image now uses to correct option to create 2 bin images. Enjoy if you see this

all: checkdirs $(TARGET_OUT) image

image: $(TARGET_OUT) $(vecho) "FW $@" $(Q) $(FW_TOOL) elf2image $(TARGET_OUT)

Ok I added it and ran it, but it gives me a syntax error.

@Duality4Y paste in your make file and I'll have a look, I just quickly threw it together without worrying about the existing targets. It looks like it is still trying todo the old esptool command. I'm currently reworking this project to better fit my requirements. As not sure if this project is active. I'll let you when it is stable if you are interested.

here is a pastebin of the makefile: http://pastebin.com/UeJekXD5

You need to change line 108 to match

all: checkdirs $(TARGET_OUT) image

So that the new target is used not the old ones. image is the new target that uses the new esptool options

now I get the following error:

robert@laptop:~/ESP8266-transparent-bridge$ make all

Ok got it to compile ! and make the binaries ! I had to change this:

image: 
        $(TARGET_OUT)
    $(vecho) "FW $@"
    $(Q) $(FW_TOOL) elf2image $(TARGET_OUT)

into this:

image: $(TARGET_OUT)
    $(vecho) "FW $@"
    $(Q) $(FW_TOOL) elf2image $(TARGET_OUT)

and then it ran without any errors. Thank you so much for your help!

[atomiclama]

Nice one glad I was able to help.

[ankitmcgill]

can you please post the complete makefile? I am getting the same errors due to incorrect argument format

[Duality4Y]

Sorry Don't have the makefile anymore.
