Compiling issue on ESP32 with Networking and SDCard using EDP-IDF 4.3 about esp32

[terjeio]

Is this with the latest version? Asking since it compiles for me.

Using Windows 10. ESP-IDF was downloaded based on the latest, I think it's 4.3.1. Used both offline and online downloaders on 2 different machines. Followed your installation instructions exactly with only adjustments for install.sh and export.sh file names in Windows. No errors during install. Freshly pulled, cloned and updated all grblHAL code.

Feels like a compiler issue because the error says no member st_min, but line 419 in fptd.c is clearly written st.st_time. I tried copy/pasting the text back in thinking it was a bad, hidden character.

Could it be that your version of the framework has a definition of vfs_stat_t that "hides" the one grblHAL provides? Or is it the way you compile that does it? I am compiling using VS Code.

I have not enabled ftp by default for other drivers as the both the fatFs and lwip configurations may need changes for that. Perhaps I should do the same for this driver and make it an option instead? If you do not need ftp enabled you can disable it by commenting out this line.

@terjeio
Sorry but I cannot determine the cause at this point until I have done more testing.

I can confirm that setting FTP_ENABLE to 0 n driver.h as you suggested enabled the code to compile.
I use the Powershell with the idf.py build command
It also seems core/driver_opts.h has special setting for all but ESP32 here

I had SDCard and Networking Enabled with Teensy 4.1. I was able to FTP files to the SD card by connecting to the IP address, but I had to use static IPs as DHCP did not seem to work. In order to get SD and Networking to compile I recall I had to find the dependancies (FatFS and lwip) in various places on the internet. Also I had to make many changes to lwip and FatFS and as I was not pulling the code using git, I was using Arduino IDE.

My goal is to use the ESP3D WebUI, but I'm not that far yet and do not know if FTP is required for my workflow.

As always your hard work is appreciated!

if you have time can you try by renaming vfs_stat_t to something else? The instances are here:

I'll incorporate that in driver.h in the next build - it makes maintenance a bit easier.

I have done all my testing with DHCP so that is odd, IIRC I've had one complaint that static IP did not work.

@terjeio
I will look into it this weekend and report back.
Again thank you for all your hard work!

Today I updated to the latest commit
cd ~
cd .\esp\esp-idf\ESP32
git stash
git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule update --remote

Made changes in CMakeList.txt
Networking, SDcard and SoftAP all 3 set to ON. I believe this will meet my needs, but need to confirm.

I have added a workaround for this in the latest version - I have no idea why the compiler flags this as an error with v4.3 of the IDF. It even suggests to rename the field to the name it already has... Silly.
