Failure running cmake: (IDFGH-6637)

[Nnicholasnjue]

Hello, I've been stuck with setting up esp-idf on eclipse for the past one week now. Right now am getting this error:

cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\Users\ENGINEER\esp\esp-idf\tools\cmake\toolchain-esp32.cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DCCACHE_ENABLE=1 -DIDF_TARGET=esp32 C:\Users\ENGINEER\eclipse-workspace\hello_world Failure running cmake:

when trying to compile the hello_world example on eclipse. Mysteriously with the esp_idf cmd and power shell, am able to compile and upload to esp32.

Happened to me on reinstal with ESP-IDF Windows Installer after Configuring CMake Toolchain

cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:\project\esp-idf\tools\cmake\toolchain-esp32.cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON -DCCACHE_ENABLE=1 -DIDF_TARGET=esp32 C:\project

FIXED by adding to PATH all tools from .esspresif manualy

Hello,

This could happen when PATH is not configured correctly. Eclipse plugin provides a way to configure all the required tools and paths, to do this:

1. Navigate to the Espressif Menu
2. ESP-IDF Tools Manager > Install Tools

This will check and install the required tools(If it's already installed, it won't install again!) and configure the paths to eclipse CDT build environment.

After running the "Install Tools" action from the eclipse, you could verify the configured paths in the preferences section. Preferences > C/C++ > Build > Environment

Note: Give attention to the console log while running "Install Tools", if something is wrong while installing, it will be reported here.

Hello. I'm experiencing the same issue as you. Could you please elaborate your solution and explain which tools did you add to PATH and which PATH? I tried to add them manually as well but it did not work.

Hi @harsha8370 Please follow the instructions from here to build an esp-adf example in the espressif-ide 3.0
