Windows requires a prebuilt mconf-idf

Postby rglissmann » Wed Feb 19, 2020 1:12 am

Hi,

I've installed the expressif extensions from the Marketplace into Visual Studio and am trying to build one of the examples. I'm getting the following error: Windows requires a prebuilt mconf-idf for your platform on the PATH, or an MSYS2 version of gcc on the PATH to build mconf-idf.

How do I correct this?

Thanks

Could you provide more information such as:
  • ESP-IDF version
  • IDF tools installer version
  • Are you building using VS Code IDF extension commands, or directly on command line?
  • Provide a copy of the error log

I was able to reproduce this issue.

going through the ESP_IDF: Configure ESP_IDF extension solves the issue
