I am getting an error when attempting to install the ESP32 IDF software onto a new PC.

Archibald@DESKTOP-MEEDJIJ MINGW32 ~
$ mkdir -p ~/esp

Archibald@DESKTOP-MEEDJIJ MINGW32 ~
$ cd ~/esp

Archibald@DESKTOP-MEEDJIJ MINGW32 ~/esp
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
Cloning into 'esp-idf'...
1 [main] git-remote-https 5776 child_info_fork::abort: C:\msys32\usr\bin\msys-icudata59.dll: Loaded to different address: parent (0x3010000) != child(0x2F40000)
error: cannot fork() for fetch-pack: Resource temporarily unavailable

Am I doing something wrong or has something become broken in the github ESP-IDF repository?

Thanks.

Open a Windows Command Prompt, assuming c:\msys32 is the MSYS32 directory, and try to rebase the installation:

Code: Select all

c:\msys32\autorebase.bat

Very many thanks Paul,

That has resolved the issue.
