Windows IDF_PATH and spaces
Posted: Sat Apr 07, 2018 7:37 pm
Hi,
I followed the documentation instructions to install ESP IDF under Windows. My Windows user is Christian Lachance and when i start mingw32.exe, it automatically create a folder with my Windows username in the Home folder : C:\msys32\home\Christian Lachance. The folder is used to set the IDF_PATH.
Since it is written everywhere that "spaces" are not compatible, can someone help me solving this problem please?
1- Is it possible to set another user than de default one from windows?
2- I tried to add backslashes before the space, but it doesnt seems to work : export IDF_PATH="C:/msys32/home/Christian\ Lachance/esp/esp-idf"
3- Is it possible to set the Home folder elsewhere and not use a user at all?!
4- Any config files i could edit?
Please help!
