ESP IDF V5.1.1 Project Configuration Problem

[BlackSmith40]

In my top level CMakeLists.txt file, I've added this statement to top of it

Code: Select all

add_compile_definitions(PROJECT_TYPE_A)
get_directory_property( DirDefs COMPILE_DEFINITIONS )
message( "COMPILE_DEFINITIONS TOP LEVEL = ${DirDefs}" )

I've a component under components folder and I'm trying to read COMPILE_DEFINITIONS in that components CMakeLists.txt file as below

Code: Select all

get_directory_property( DirDefs COMPILE_DEFINITIONS )
message(STATUS "COMPILE_DEFINITIONS COMPONENT LEVEL = ${DirDefs}" )

When I call idf.py reconfigure or idf.py build, I've observed an interesting behaviour. The log is as below

Code: Select all

COMPILE_DEFINITIONS TOP LEVEL = PROJECT_TYPE_A
Some Logs

-- COMPILE_DEFINITIONS  COMPONENT LEVEL = PROJECT_TYPE_A

As you can see it's running it twice and on the first run it fails to read compile definitions and prints empty output. This causes compiler errors on my projects because when I try to build, the failure on the first call affects my build.

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!
