Developing without the full toolchain
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2018 11:05 pm
Hi, I have been using the IDF framework / toolchain for a while now and I was wondering if there was a supported way or if anyone explored developing without the full toolchain.
I guess I am not sure which, if any, part of the toolchain could be circumvented. Ideally I would like to not use MSYS2 and develop with my preferred build system and not Make. I would also like to selectively compile what I need from the IDF framework into a static library so it will never need to be recompiled and does not need as much bloat.
Some of the current scripts are awesome, like make flash, make monitor, make menuconfig. I would like to incorporate that into my own development environment but without Make.
I guess an additional question is, is using MSYS2 a must? And if not, does anyone have any pointers into creating their own development environment? I would prefer to stay on the command line and not use Eclipse too.
Thanks!
