[TW#26495] Toolchain Refresh - Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

[Si03]

Environment

• IDF version: 66fd7e9
• Operating System: Windows 10

Problem Description

I have been working fine on the toolchain for months, but noticed a build warning appear about 'crosstool' after a recent pull and decided to do a fresh install by deleting the existing c:\msys32 folder and installing from scratch, following the instructions here for installing the master branch environment on Windows. During the install process I get an error when running the command:
python -m pip install --user -r $IDF_PATH/requirements.txt
Error:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in :/users/simon/appdata/local/temp/pip-build-8acuzf/cffi/

subsequent builds produce the build output folders but fail to produce any app.bin file, for instance, a make on hello_world:

WARNING: Toolchain version is not supported: crosstool-ng-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a5
Expected to see version: crosstool-ng-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a
Please check ESP-IDF setup instructions and update the toolchain, or proceed at your own risk.

Please run "C:/msys32/mingw32/bin/python.exe -m pip install --user -r C:/msys32/home/Simon/esp/esp-idf/requirements.txt" for resolving the issue.
make: *** [C:/msys32/home/Simon/esp/esp-idf/make/project.mk:454: check_python_dependencies] Error 1

Running C:/msys32/mingw32/bin/python.exe -m pip install --user -r C:/msys32/home/Simon/esp/esp-idf/requirements.txt does not resolve the issue and errors repeat as above.

Any help appreciated.
cheers,
Si.

Problem for WARNING is the TOOLCHAIN_COMMIT_DESC changed by 1 char

$ xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc --version | sed -E -n 's|.*\(crosstool-NG (.*)\).*|\1|gp'
crosstool-ng-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a5

$ xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc --version | sed -E -n 's|.*crosstool-ng-([0-9]+).([0-9]+).([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)-g([0-9a-f]{7}).*|\1.\2.\3-\4-g\5|gp'

Could you please attach the output you get when you run C:/msys32/mingw32/bin/python.exe -m pip install --user -r C:/msys32/home/Simon/esp/esp-idf/requirements.txt?

I think the solution to this may be the same as given here:
https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7419#p31342

Can you please try that command and see if you're able to continue?

We'll update the MSYS2 package ASAP.

Thanks for the replies.
@projectgus : This is the correct solution. All working fine after running the 'pacman...' command followed by the 'python...pip...' command.
@igrr : for completeness, here is the output -output.txt
The warning relating to 'crosstool-ng-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a5' as diagnosed by @negativekelvin obviously remains but is not causing a problem (apart from being what prompted me to refresh the tools in the first place)

In the short term I suggest that a note be added to the installation docs to prevent others having the same problem.

Q: Should I close this issue or wait for the fixed toolchain to flush through?

Super support, many thanks,
Si.
