Unable to build example for ESP32 - component-http-parser-build

[jwktje]

After following the guide on the wiki I attempted to build the example for the ESP32. make -C examples/esp32/led all

This fails with the following error;

make: *** No rule to make target `component-http-parser-build', needed by `component-homekit-build'.  Stop.

I'm on OSX 10.15.2 (19C57) and trying to flash a Wemos Lolin32. I really hope someone can tell me how to fix this error.

For clarity, this happens after a bunch of other CC output lines that seem fine.

Tried reinstalling ESP-IDF and the error changed;

jwktje@Jwktje esp-homekit-demo % make -C examples/esp32/led all

make[1]: *** [component-log-build] Error 2
make: *** [/Users/jwktje/Development/Esp-idf/esp-homekit-demo/examples/esp32/led/build/bootloader/bootloader.bin] Error 2

Update: And after a more thorough reinstall of the ESP-IDF I'm back to my original error;

make: *** No rule to make target `component-http-parser-build', needed by `component-homekit-build'.  Stop.

Here is the full output;

You need to

1. check out git submodules (git submodule update --init --recursive)
2. make sure you clean project (make -C examples/your_example clean) if you've built it before updating

[jwktje]

I did run git submodule update --init --recursive but weirdly it didn't show any output after this command. This confused me so that's why I tried reinstalling everything.

This didn't change it for the better. For now I'm attempting to run ESP-IDF in a Ubuntu virtualbox on my mac just so I know for sure the environment is clean.

This results in the same error though. It builds for a while and then it gets stuck on:

make: *** No rule to make target 'component-http-parser-build', needed by 'component-homekit-build'.  Stop.

Are you able to build the examples/esp32/led example?

[maximkulkin]

Oh, that one was a broken link to component directory. Pushed a fix.

[jwktje]

Yes! You are the best. That was the problem. I am now able to build without issue without VirtualBox too. Thanks for clearing this up!
