Hi there,
am trying since a day to make it work on one of my Windows PCs, i cant.
i can by following below procedure make it work on another PC (both are Windows 10 Desktops).
-install ESP IDF by the espressif online installer, tests in the powershell are working, compiles uploads etc,
-afterwards i install VSCode, and update the ESP IDF plugin with the files on the hardisk from the Espressif download on my Disk, result is i can create ESP-IDF example project, compile and upload them.
-then i install PlatformIO and it all breaks on my problem PC, cant compile anymore.
i try to make a new project or take some simple provided hello world example, nothing compiles.
“Something went wrong while trying to build the project”
ive tried to delete and reinstall all, incl python (yes i checkboc for PATH is checked), no luck so far.
having various error messages, lost the overview.
this is one
"undefined reference to app_main' c:/esp/tools/tools/xtensa-esp32s2-elf/esp-2021r2-patch3-8.4.0/xtensa-esp32s2-elf/bin/../lib/gcc/xtensa-esp32s2-elf/8.4.0/../../../../xtensa-esp32s2-elf/bin/ld.exe: esp-idf/freertos/libfreertos.a(port_common.c.obj): in function main_task’:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
- The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command ninja " terminated with exit code: 1. "
it pretty much always ends with a ninja error, any ideas?
prob. easier to give up on plafromio for now and focus on the esp-idf.

its strange, the python enviroment seems to be ok as the esp-idf themself can compile… as long i dont install PlatformIO.
If you disable the PlatformIO extension in VSCode for your workspace, does it still fail?

good point!
i uninstalled the PIO extension (not disabled).
then i tried to configure the esp-idf extension.
still the same.
Command failed: “c:\ESP\tools\tools\idf-python\3.8.7\python.exe” “c:\ESP\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py” install-python-env ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: command:
broken, need a complete reinstall and avoid PIO to make it work for me.
i have esp-idf working in vscode again.
easiest for me was to delete and resinstall all as good i can.
its still a a miracle to me whats going on there.
its realted to my system as the same constelation works on another PC, i just dont know what to change anymore, also rthat PIO breaks my esp-idf installation everytime is a bit concerning.
to answer directly, yes it does.
btw the error seems somehow unrelated to the system wide installed python (3.10 used).
could it make sense to try to update the esp-idf supplied python to a newer version?
i updated pip, but that seems to have no effect,i may could try to update the whole python maybe?
