ESP8266 Community Forum

I am running Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit, and I can't get the toolchain and SDK to install.

I had some easy to fix dependency issues at first, then ran into more issues.

I followed

wiki/doku.php?id=setup-linux-compiler-esp8266

And it bombs out with:

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/bhenning/esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG'

I looked at the known issues document, and did not spot a solution.

I also tried:

http://www.electrodragon.com/w/ESP8266_GCC_SDK

I got as far as

/opt/Espressif
git clone -b lx106 git://github.com/jcmvbkbc/crosstool-NG.git
cd crosstool-NG
./bootstrap && ./configure --prefix=`pwd` && make && make install
./ct-ng xtensa-lx106-elf
./ct-ng build

Which bombed out, but just after posting this, I got it going!

Before running ./ct-ng build, I went

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=

And it is building right now!

UPDATE:

It finished building!

I'll try the first method again, now with the cleared library path. I suspect it will work. Stay tuned...

Time for me to wire up a little ESP-01 dev board.

I just received a bunch of ESP-12e's, and I already have some ESP-01's

Thanks,

Bill
