@CHERTS
Thank you for the awesome easy to use devkit install!
Version 1.0.5 doesn't seem to include g++ - from the comments on this forum I get the impression that pre 1.0.5 did - do you plan to add it back in?
Thanks again!

Yes, g ++ compiler is not DevKit version 1.0.5 x86, it was never there.
g ++ was DevKit version 1.0.4 x64, but I stopped her support.

I do not see any reason to use the compiler g ++, because
1. Dramatically increases the memory consumption in esp8266
2. No basic libraries compiled g ++
Its use for the assembly of firmware currently impossible.

Personally I don't see any issues with g++ on esp8266, aside from the fact that you need to define new/delete operators and provide a routine that initializes global objects. I've got some fairly complex pieces of c++ code running on esp8266 with no memory issues. So in case anyone needs a toolchain which includes g++, here's one for Windows x86:

Just watch out for extern "C" declarations and adjust your makefile to compile cpp files with g++

I wish to thank you for your work on the Windows SDK.

I have tried to package all the things together and am now set to load my custom Firmware.

Thank you,

Warm Regards,
