Windows Quickstart

Install Chocolatey

This is a package manger, like apt-get but for Windows. Offical website: https://chocolatey.org

Open an administrative cmd.exe command prompt and paste the text from the box below and press enter:

# Install Latest Chocolatey
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin

Add package repository

choco sources add -name kireevco -source 'https://www.myget.org/f/kireevco-chocolatey/'

Install Sming

# Powershell - run as Administrator
choco install sming -y -source 'https://www.myget.org/f/kireevco-chocolatey/'

It will install automatically

• Java Runtime 8
• Eclipse C/C++ (source)
• Unofficial Espressif Development Kit for Windows (source)
• Mingw & required packages (source)

If for some reason you don't want Eclipse, UDK, mingw and Environment configured just run:

choco install sming.core -y -source 'https://www.myget.org/f/kireevco-chocolatey/'

This will download latest examples and create desktop shortcut Sming Examples.

Configuration

You might want to configure your project before building. Edit Makefile-user.mk to the proper values

Confirm Environment

Make sure the MinGW make.exe is the only one in the path. This will correct most "make: *** No rule to make target" problems.

# should only show one make
where make.exe
C:\Tools\mingw64\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe
