ESP32 Forum

I'm working at windows system, And I found that the compiling process run in Arduino IDE is faster so much then in idf mode(use esp32_win32_msys2_environment_and_toolchain-20190611 in herehttps://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... setup.html),and I want to know why the comliling process in Arduino is so fast then in msys2.

Arduino-esp32 uses pre-compiled libraries for the esp-idf APIs. This does speed up the compile, but means you can't change all those menuconfig options. You cannot do this in the Arduino IDE. If you would like to change these options, you can compile arduino as an esp-idf component https://github.com/espressif/arduino-es ... mponent.md
This is also now possible in platform.io using 'framework = arduino, espidf' in your platformio.ini.
