Hey all,

New to the ESP32 platform, looking to get esp-idf setup but running into issues. On running the hello_world example following all of the setup instructions:

$ make menuconfig
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/sbask_000/esp-idf/tools/kconfig'
cc -I/usr/include/ncursesw -DCURSES_LOC="<curses.h>" -DNCURSES_WIDECHAR=1 -DLO CALE -c -o mconf.o mconf.c

Any insight is appreciated!

Hi sj_bask,

Which steps did you follow to setup the IDF environment on Windows?

And are you running "mingw32.exe" to launch the IDF terminal window?

Hey Angus,

Thanks for the reply!

I'm using the steps shown here for Windows:
http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... setup.html

And yes, I'm attempting to run the example from mingw32. I can provide screenshots if that would be helpful.

Hi,

I am also getting the same error and am following the steps stated in the guide.
Using Windows.
Thanks.

Best.

I have got the same problem.

Hi folks,

There should be a file /c/msys32/usr/bin/msys-isl-15.dll - can you confirm this exists on your systems?

There must be something peculiar about the environment & search path on your systems which we haven't picked up. If you're able to, can you please post the output of the "env" command in the MSYS32 shell.

Also, any information about Windows version, anything unusual about your Windows install (corporate Active Directory, no local admin access, or anything else you can think of...?)

Yes it was missing. I installed a isl package again to solve this problem.

Strange. The prebuilt windows environment should already contain this package and DLL. Still, I'm glad it was an easy fix!
