Discuss here different C compiler set ups, and compiling executables for the ESP8266

#37900 Hi there,

I'm getting crazy... I use the Linux esp-open-sdk, and it works like a charm (latest version sdk 1.5).
I can successfully compile and program the ESP8266 (ESP12E in my case), but one thing is really annoying:
I use esphttpd (eho doesnt'T? :) ), and try to import the uart stuff from esp_link project, as I need to set up own routines for sending and receiving serial data streams.

While both esp-link and esphttpd compile, I can't use "extern UartDevice UartDev;" in my code - I get an error saying

error: unknown type name 'UartDevice'

which in turn means (for my understanding, please be gentle, I'm more the hardware guy) some include defining this type is missing (and I can't figure out which one, as the documentation available is somehow... with room for optimazation).

I'd be happy for any clue on my problem :(

See you, Michael
