Eclipse Installation - Cmake Error - Python dependencies

[ben3welec]

Hi All,

I'm trying to install a fresh copy of Eclipse following the instructions at https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... requisites

Everything appears to work up until I try to build the idf_default_template project (or any other project for that matter).

I get "CMake Error at C:/ESP-DEV/esp-idf-v4.2/tools/cmake/build.cmake:271 (message):
Some Python dependencies must be installed. Check above message for
details.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

C:/ESP-DEV/esp-idf-v4.2/tools/cmake/project.cmake:395 (idf_build_process)
CMakeLists.txt:6 (project)"

The full output from the build console is:

I'm sure I did something wrong in setting up eclipse, but I really can't figure out what.

I don't know if this "correct", but here's what I did to fix my problem:

I noticed a message within the console that said “To install the missing packages, please run "C:\ESP-DEV\esp-idf-v4.2\install.bat". Running that batch file resulted itself in more error messages that included a message to install The Visual C++ build tools from installed https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visu ... ild-tools/.

I also noticed that my PATH system environment variable did not include the Python path in it so I added that path (In my case it was C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39)

The PYTHONPATH system variable was missing as well, so I added it (Same path C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39)

After installing the microsoft visual-cpp-build-tools, I re-ran the install.bat file (located in \esp-idf-v4.2\ directory) and that seemed to clear up the errors that resulted from running said batch file.

After all that and a restart to eclispe, I was able to build my projects.

Is it supposed to be this hard?
