Hi Team.

This is not a bug report ;
I have 2 win 10 PC's the one I have installed all FC tools and ESP32 running with no issues .
I wanted to do the same on my Programming PC in my LAB FC V9 is running well with AVR and PIC tool chains but the ESP tool chain installed
in C\esp-idf as in the working PC the CMD window actually shows that it is setting the path to this location and adding the tools .when
compiling a FC chart FC reports the path C:\esp_idf is not found I just don't understand what could the issue be, Any idea will help :D

Hi, Peter
If I remember correctly, I had a similar issue.
I did two things to resolved it.
Rebooted PC as it as directly after ESP32 was first installed.
I also deleted the folder with underscores that ESP32 had generated which uses the project name.
You may not have the same issue, but worth a try?
I also did not believe the tools can be is the same as the main idf-esp directory?

Hi Peter,
Just to add to Martin's comments ...

CMakeLists.txt not found in project directory c:\users\peter erasmus\downloads\test

This is the problem, spaces are not allowed, unfortunately :(

Hi Leigh.

Yes you are right I know that but I missed the space between peter / / erasmus , :D how do I change that is the question for a man born before computers :D because the user \peter erasmus \is a windows setup done the first time the PC was configured :oops:

You could try moving your projects directory from the "user" downloads, to a common directory, such as C:/projects
