New install and setup on Linux mint - cant compile

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hi. Just switched over to Linux Mint from windows.

I have a ESP32_DevkitC_V4 (ESP32-Wroom-32U) board and a simple test program (chipid) wont compile.

I don’t thing i have the libraries setup properly but i am not sure what I am missing???

I have tried a couple of different boards from the board manager.

This is the error messages i am getting.

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Linux), Board: "ESP32-WROOM-DA Module, Default 4MB with spiffs (1.2MB APP/1.5MB SPIFFS), 240MHz (WiFi/BT), QIO, 80MHz, 4MB (32Mb), 921600, Core 1, Core 1, None, Disabled"

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Thanks for taking the time to share the solution you found @wombat6926!

The error you encountered:

This is caused by a known incompatibility between version 3.3.5 of the "esp32" boards platform and Arduino IDE 1.x on some systems (possibly Linux-specific):

The "esp32" platform developers have already prepared a fix:

So the compatibility should be restored in the next release of the "esp32" platform. Until then, switching to using the modern Arduino IDE 2.x will be an effective workaround, as the incompatibility is specific to the implementation of the boards platform framework in Arduino IDE 1.x.
