Trying to compile example code

  Directory specified in EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS doesn't exist: E:/components

The path is wrong, where/how is it set?

Alternatively, EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS can be set in the top-level CMakeLists.txt to look for components in other places.

The CMakeLists.txt file has the following

Code: Select all

# The following lines of boilerplate have to be in your project's
# CMakeLists in this exact order for cmake to work correctly
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
include($ENV{IDF_PATH}/tools/cmake/project.cmake)

set(EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS
    ../../components   (Was this the line that was the issue?)
    )

add_compile_options(-fdiagnostics-color=always 
                    -Wno-format 
                    -DLV_LVGL_H_INCLUDE_SIMPLE
                    -Wno-ignored-qualifiers
                    -Wno-unused-function
                    -Wno-unused-variable)

project(smart_panel)

In the end, I just made sure I had the same directory structure as the example and got it to work. What was confusing, was this example had its own folder, but it was drawing from files outside/above the folder apparently files common to all examples. Never found any reference to the path to the files outside the example folder, other than "../../components" above
