Small Surprise in IDF Project Example: Purposeful or Typographical Error?
Posted: Fri Jul 17, 2020 2:42 am
New to the ESP32, IDF I carefully watched the application build process. I was surprised to note that building the "hello_world" example in "../esp/esp_idf/examples/get-started" generates files named "hello-world" (of types .bin, .elf and .map). That's right, a dash crept into the file names in place of the expected underscore.
Simple to understand: Both the "CMakeLists.txt" and "Makefile" at the project's top level give the project's name as "hello-world" for some reason. That is easy to change and produces the desired result.
As a new user, I would like to understand if this is a subtle, purposeful matter of style in naming projects and intermediate files or a minor typographical error.
Thanks!
