MSYS2 is slow on Windows 10

[squonk11]

Now I tried to install the same build system (CMake based) on a Windows 7 PC (previous installation was on Windows 10) and I am encountering compile time errors. I think I will open a separate thread for this.

Code: Select all

Executing "C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Users\gus\dev\esp-idf\tools/idf_monitor.py -p COM6 -b 115200 C:\Users\gus\Desktop\esp-idf-v3.1.2\examples\get-started\hello_world\build\hello-world.elf -m 'C:\Python27\python.exe' 'C:\Users\gus\Desktop\esp-idf-v3.1.2\tools\idf.py' '-p' 'COM6'"...
--- idf_monitor on COM6 115200 ---

Python in this case is the standard Windows Python 2.7 install. Can you compare with the output you see from idf.py?

My output is:

Code: Select all

Executing "C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Users\xxxx\esp\esp-idf\tools/idf_monitor.py -p COM11 -b 115200 C:\Users\xxxx\esp\hello_world\build\hello-world.elf -m 'C:\Python27\python.exe' 'C:\Users\xxxx\esp\esp-idf\tools\idf.py' '-p' 'COM11'"...

That looks quite similar to yours, right?

Yes, this looks equivalent.

What language and keyboard layout do you have set?

[squonk11]

Both German.
Maybe that is the problem? How can I switch to English - just for test?

Hello All,

Issue has been resolved for windows 10 system or still remains? Because we are also facing same issue at our end while using MSYS2 into windows 10 system with ESP32 IDF.

Let me know if any permanent solution for same.

Hello Ritesh,

since I switched to the CMake build system under native Windows I did not try MSYS2 again - so I don't know if this problem has been taken care of. In general: if you want to work with ESP32 and esp-idf I recommend to use cmake since this will be the new build system from Espressif; make will no longer be supported in future.

Kind regards
Lothar

But the cmake setup is not available for stable idf 3.2.2 right ?

It is available, as a preview: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... index.html

Regarding the problem under MSYS2, did you find that changing any keyboard layout settings causes the problem to go away?

Hello,

We haven't moved into CMAKE and we don't have any planning to move into that because there are already few products are about to launch in which we have used older IDF.

I agree that they have ported IDF on CMAKE to resolve that kind of issue.

Hello,

I don't think that changing Keyboard Layout settings will resolve this issue because issue is something different which can be traced using make -d option as well.

Hi Ritesh,

Sorry, I think I got confused on account of several different issues being discussed in this thread. If your issue is MSYS2 being slow, please reply here with as many details as you can find and maybe there are some improvements we can suggest.

If the issue is something else, please open a new thread with the details.
