Hello,

I am working with VSCode and updated my IDF to version 4.3 but now i can't build any more.
The newProject was created with node.js in the IDF command line.

Code: Select all

C:\ProgrammerTools\ESP\Projects\newProject\newProject>idf.py build
Executing action: all (aliases: build)
Running ninja in directory c:\programmertools\esp\projects\newproject\newproject\build
Executing "ninja all"...
ninja: error: 'C:/ProgrammerTools/ESP/ESP-IDF/components/esp_wifi/lib/esp32/libwapi.a', needed by 'newProject.elf', missing and no known rule to make it
ninja failed with exit code 1

I don't even know what libwapi.a is, and i can't get any information by asking google what its purpose is.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Hi Grasmower,

Try doing a "git submodule update --init --recursive" to get the latest version of the related libraries. (CMake prints a warning about this, but only the first time after changing the IDF version.)
