Cmake build System Error : Syntax error in cmake code (IDFGH-1506) #3771

DheeranYuvaraj · 2019-07-12T06:45:35Z

I installed esp-idf-tools-setup-2.0.exe. Then i am trying to do menuconfig by idf.py menuconfig. But it was not working.

With idf-tools-setup python 3.7, git 2.21.0, ESP-IDF-V4.0 are installed.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit operating System.

First i got the same issue reported by axbusch
After solving that, i got a new issue.

Problem Description

Running idf.py menuconfig it was giving syntax error in cmake code

Expected Behavior

Menuconfig opens

Actual Behavior

Using Python in C:\Users\Yuvaraj\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37
Python 3.7.3
Using Git in C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
git version 2.21.0.windows.1
Setting IDF_PATH: C:\esp32-cmake\esp-idf

Adding ESP-IDF tools to PATH...

Python requirements from C:\esp32-cmake\esp-idf\requirements.txt are satisfied.

Done! You can now compile ESP-IDF projects.
Go to the project directory and run: idf.py build

Then i am trying to do menu configuration.

HI @Yuvaraj4041, you mentioned using v4.0. Are you on the latest master?

DheeranYuvaraj · 2019-07-12T07:23:19Z

Hi @renzbagaporo, Thanks.

Yes . While installing esp-idf-tools-setup-2.0.exe asked to download ESP-IDF. I choosed master branch.

This my Actual IDF Version : v4.0-dev-1191-g138c941fa

renzbagaporo · 2019-07-12T07:54:12Z

This looks like a regression with a problem that was solved previously. In the meantime, can you try adding the following line:

set(COMPONENT_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR})

after

idf_build_get_property(soc_name IDF_TARGET)

for both components/soc/CMakeLists.txt and components/efuse/CMakeLists.txt

DheeranYuvaraj · 2019-07-12T08:03:34Z

@renzbagaporo

It Works....! Thank you.

renzbagaporo · 2019-07-12T08:54:15Z

Ok. This issue should automatically get closed once the fix gets merged @Yuvaraj4041

Gives same treatment to COMPONENT_DIR as COMPONENT_PATH in https://gitlab.espressif.cn:6688/espressif/esp-idf/merge_requests/4557 Closes espressif#3771

Yes I am currently having the same problem, each time I edit the file it changes it again...

I am having exactly same problem.

after

I did the same as instructed above but the issue still remains.
