unable to install packages on msys

Postby Sunil Dullolli » Wed Jul 03, 2019 6:00 pm

Hello all,

I downloaded the readily available msys2 & toolchain packages from https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... hain-setup. I see that I will also need cmake to be installed as I am using a third party component which uses cmake. When I do "pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-cmake" or for that matter any other installations doesn't work. It stops at "Retrieving packages" and when I run it again it creates "db.lck" file and even deleting that file is not helping out. i.e. it is unable to lock
database for some reason.

Is there a workaround to get through this? Any help is appreciated.

Hi Sunil Dullolli.

Since you are using the "latest" branch, starting right now and will already need cmake then I would recommend you to use instead our cmake-based toolchain (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... index.html) which will be the default one in the upcoming release.

I'm not sure about the described problem with MSys. Maybe you could try to download it once again.

The problem isn't with the download of the tool itself, but with the packages using mingw-get Mobdro.
