Is there some write up somewhere that details how to port an eclipse esp-idf project to another computer?

I have an old project on one machine that uses a 2021 version of eclipse. I spent hours trying different things, but I just can get it to work no matter what I do. Both machines are Linux.

I figured all I had to do is archive the project files from the old machine and transfer the files to a freshly installed eclipse/esp-idf install on another machine, but apparently it's not so easy.

I'd appreciate any help I ca get because I'm running out of ideas.

Hello,

You can use the Existing IDF Project menu option for importing your old project.

Do let me know if you see any challenges with this approach.

Thanks.

Do I have to do anything special when I install eclipse on the new machine before importing? For instance, do I have to install the same version of eclipse and the toolchains used? Remember, this is an old version (2021) of eclipse that I have on the old machine.
