Project build error with new_allocator.h

PlatformIO IDE

Hi everyone,

I faced with esp32 compilation problem on one of my PCs, on another one I don’t have it.
Could you help find reason why is this happens?

I have this error:

c:\users\den\.platformio\packages\toolchain-xtensa32\xtensa-esp32-elf\include\c++\5.2.0\ext\new_allocator.h:120:4: error: no matching function for call to 'String(const char*&, unsigned int&)'

c:\users\den\.platformio\packages\toolchain-xtensa32\xtensa-esp32-elf\include\c++\5.2.0\ext\new_allocator.h:120:4: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'unsigned int' [-fpermissive]

Are you sure you want to use such an ancient version?
That is Espressif Arduino 1.0.6 based on ESP-IDF 3.3.5!!!

The latest official available platform-espressif32 version is 6.10.0 which will give you
Espressif Arduino 2.0.17 based on ESP-IDF 4.4.7

If you want to know more about these version numbers
and / or how to get the latest Espressif Arduino 3.1.3 check this list.

This does not make any sense in an ESP32 based project!

Also there are quite a lot of other settings as well as an (for us unknown) “reset_target” script. Do you really need all those settings and you you know whey they are set and what they are doing?

Thanks a lot, this helps.
Changed platform = espressif32@3.5.0 to platform = espressif32 and project compiled successfully.
Tomorrow I gonna check this on the ESP32 hardware.

Strange that the same configuration works for another project.

Without specifying an exact version number, the highest version installed on your system will be used. Better you stick it to a specific version.

You’ll see the version used in the first few output lines when compiling the project.

PLATFORM: Espressif 32 (6.10.0)

Your advice helped me compile it, but the chip no longer runs. I can see trash in the terminal:
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
I’ve tried platform = espressif32@4.0.0 and latest platform = espressif32@6.10.0.
I don’t know why, only 3.5.1 works at me, but I can compile this on my second PC.

I found the problem. In my platformio.ini file, there also was missing partitions config

board_build.partitions = default_8MB.csv

When I added this, the firmware runs appropriately.
