HI All,

Last night I managed to go through all the preparations and installation of the toolchain as described in the wiki (https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/wiki/Toolchain). All seemed to execute fine, without errors.
This morning I moved on to the Building part of the tutorial, but I got stuck at the very beginning: Compiling the example "Blinky" on page https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/wiki/Building gives me this error:



It must be some PATH problem, because I do have the ets_sys.h file in the /opt/Espressif/ESP8266_SDK/esp_iot_sdk_v0.9.3/include directory.

Myabe some more experienced members could shed some light on this...

thanks!

@Tressie,

I'm afraid this doesn't help...

First I did what you suggested, same result. Then I looked up my directory structure and found that the missing file is not in the location you showed, but in "/opt/Espressif/ESP8266_SDK/esp_iot_sdk_v0.9.3/include". Changing $PATH to include this, however, still produces the same error as in the original post.
I double checked if $PATH is correct, and it seems so:


And yes, I rebooted the computer every time I changed $PATH.

Any further ideas?

Hi Tressie,

First of all, thanks for sticking with me on this issue!

Cool, then I'll just wait a bit for you to get back from the Saturday night party! Have a nice week-end!

What a pity. Anyway, Thanks for your efforts, I'll try to get it to work and report back.

Also, can you point me to some other resources where I can find some working examples so that I can better understand the "little bugger"?
