ESP32 Forum

Hello,
I would like to report a problem that I'm anticipating with the esp32 SDK package. I'm using windows10 Home Edition and bitdefender antivirus. I have installed python 3.6, msys32 and i downloaded with msys32 the esp-idf package inside c:/esp/esp-idf. After that I've tried to run make menuconfig command in order to test building and flashing blink project. But when menuconfig popped up there were almost no options. I have attached some screenshots that shows the problem. I have removed all files and reinstalled msys32 and other programms+files but i got the same results.
The thing is that i have already installed esp-idf sdk in two other PCs and i had no problem after following the installing guide in (http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).
Was my esp-idf download corrupted ?
Maybe I'm missing something ?

Any help will be appreciated .
Best regards, Kostas.

Hello again. I think i have figured it out!
I believe that make file must be corrupted in some of the examples. I tried again today to find a solution to my problem and when i tried "make menuconfig" on example "wear levelling" everything worked out as always. Then I tested some more examples and I figured out that some of the examples "menuconfig" GUI was not as it should be and the missing options were poped-up as text after exiting the "menuconfig" GUI.

--Second try for today.
There seems to be a strange behavior! Sometimes make menuconfig works like a charm and sometimes not. -_-
I can't figure out what is the root of the problem. Is there anyone that has anticipated anything similar ?

I've never heard of anything like this. Maybe an antivirus program of some kind is intercepting filesystem access?

Please let us know if you figure this out.

Ok i think i figured it out this time for real!
I uninstalled my antivirus and everything seems to be working just fine for now. I will keep looking into it and let you know more.
I was using Bitdefender antivirus, but strangely I'm using the same antivirus in the other two PCs without having any problem when using toolchain or the eclipse.
That thing bothered me a whole week... Anyway I hope my post help people solve problems of this kind faster than me .
Regards, Kostas.
