Setup for cmake on Windows
|
|
***************************************
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The CMake-based build system is currently in preview release. Documentation may have missing gaps, and you may enocunter bugs (please report these). The original (non-cmake) version of this doc is :doc:`here<windows-setup>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Windows support in particular currently requires more manual installation of tools and setup of system Path than is planned for final release.
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Unlike the conventional ESP-IDF make-based build environment, cmake does not require a GNU-compatible environment for building. You can build with cmake from Windows Command Prompt, or from an IDE with cmake support.
|
|
|
|
Tools
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
The following software packages need to be installed:
|
|
|
|
cmake
|
|
^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Download the latest stable release of CMake_ for Windows and run the installer.
|
|
|
|
When the installer asks for Install Options, choose either "Add CMake to the system PATH for all users" or "Add CMake to the system PATH for the current user".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ninja build
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Download the ninja_ latest stable Windows release from the (`download page <ninja-dl>`_).
|
|
|
|
The Ninja for Windows download is a .zip file containing a single ``ninja.exe`` file which needs to be unzipped to a directory on your PATH.
|
|
|
|
An easy directory to place ``ninja.exe`` is the CMake executable directory, as this is already on the PATH. This directory will be something like ``C:\Program Files\CMake\bin`` (look for the file ``cmake.exe`` in this directory to know it's the correct one).
|
|
|
|
Python 2.x
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Download the latest Python_ 2.7 for Windows installer, and run it.
|
|
|
|
The "Customise" step of the Python installer gives a list of options. The last option is "Add python.exe to Path". Change this option to select "Will be installed".
|
|
|
|
Once Python is installed, open a Windows Command Prompt from the Start menu and run the following command::
|
|
|
|
pip install pyserial
|
|
|
|
|
|
Toolchain Setup
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Download the precompiled Windows toolchain from dl.espressif.com:
|
|
|
|
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-win32-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.zip
|
|
|
|
Unzip the zip file to ``C:\Program Files`` (or some other location). The zip file contains a single directory ``xtensa-esp32-elf``.
|
|
|
|
Next, you need to add the ``bin`` subdirectory to your PATH. For example, the directory to add may be ``C:\Program Files\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin``.
|
|
|
|
Open the System control panel and navigate to the Environment Variables dialog. (On Windows 10, this is found under Advanced System Settings).
|
|
|
|
Double-click the ``Path`` variable (either User or System Path, depending if you want other users to use the toolchain.) Go to the end of the value, and append ``;C:\Program Files\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin`` (or whatever the path to your toolchain ``bin`` directory is).
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If you already have the MSYS2 environment (for use with the "GNU Make" build system) installed, you can skip the separate download and add the directory ``C:\msys32\opt\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin`` to the Path instead, as the toolchain is included in the MSYS2 environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
