Hi
For a new ESP8266 project we are planning to use Eclipse IDE.
I followed the steps from the below link.

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp8266-rtos-sdk/en/latest/get-started/eclipse-setup-windows.html

I used the gpio example from the 'ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master' SDK. On building the project I am getting the following error in the eclipse debug console.

"python C:\\ESP\\ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master\\tools\\windows\\eclipse_make.py" -j4 all
Cannot run program "python C:\ESP\ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master\tools\windows\eclipse_make.py": Launching failed

Error: Program "python C:\ESP\ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master\tools\windows\eclipse_make.py" not found in PATH
PATH=[C:\ESP\msys32\usr\bin;C:\ESP\msys32\mingw32\bin;C:\ESP\msys32\opt\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin]

17:04:05 Build Failed. 1 errors, 0 warnings. (took 88ms)

I used the gpio example in ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master SDK.
As per the above link, I've set the following environment variables under Project properties-->C/C++ Build-->Environment,
BATCH_BUILD = 1
IDF_PATH = C:/ESP/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master
PATH = C:\ESP\msys32\usr\bin;C:\ESP\msys32\mingw32\bin;C:\ESP\msys32\opt\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin

In C/C++ Build settings,
Build commands = python ${IDF_PATH}/tools/windows/eclipse_make.py

Has anyone faced similar issue?

Thank You for your time.

Do you have python installed and in your PATH?

I've installed Python 3.9.5.
In the windows command line I've used the command 'echo %PATH%' and it's reply has the following python paths.
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\;
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\;

I also tried by adding these paths into PATH variable inside eclipse - Project Properties-->C/C++ Build-->Environment.
But still the same error shows up.

Thank You for your time.

"echo %PATH%" has the following paths.

C:\Users\RAGHUL\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts\;

I've also added these path under PATH variable in eclipse - Project Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Environment
But still the same error shows up.
