MicroPython Wemos D1 mini - ESP8266 installation problems

Post by blckpstv » Thu Dec 15, 2016 9:20 pm

Hello,

I'm trying to install the micropython on the Wemos D1 mini Pro - ESP8266.

So I'm follwing the installation guide on this git => https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk

In the part where I need to clone the git to the virtual disk I get error trying to make the build.

Following errors: a copy of the wemos forum where I started the installation ( the cloning didn't work with the link from the wemos forum)
[code]
I used the github link in the github instruction and it worked. After that the make gave me this error

fatal: destination path 'esp-open-sdk' already exists and is not an empty directory.

So.. I cd into the eps-open-sdk and did make again, this gave me this error.

configure: error: missing required tool: help2man
make[1]: *** [_ct-ng] Error 1
make: *** [crosstool-NG/ct-ng] Error 2

Following make clean did this

make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
make: *** [clean] Error 2

[/code]

What can I do to get past this, should I restart the installation from scratch and if so how do I rm safely.

As the error suggest, you need to install help2man, it is listed in the dependencies on the esp-open-sdk page. This should be available in your distro repository.
