make menuconfig fails with file not recognized: File format not recognized

[raspberrypisig]

The steps I have done to install ESP-IDF on Windows 10:

1. Followed https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... setup.html
Unzipped to C:\Users\X\esp-toolchain
2. Double clicked C:\Users\X\esp-toolchain\msys32\mingw32.exe
3. Followed instructions here https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... et-esp-idf
4. cd to the hello-world folder
5. tried make menuconfig

The result of running make menuconfig:

Not sure what I've done wrong.
ls $(IDF_PATH)

add_path.sh CONTRIBUTING.rst examples LICENSE README.md
components docs Kconfig make tools

Also tried a make clean but alas to no avail.

Hi raspberrypisig,

Thanks for the detailed description of the problem.

If you run

Code: Select all

rm $IDF_PATH/tools/kconfig/*.o

and then re-run make menuconfig, what is the output?

I ended up doing the procedure again. This time it worked no problems. Thanks for you help.
