How do I use BUILD_EXTRA_FLAGS ? about makeesparduino HOT 6 CLOSED

Well in the first and last case the error message is related to the start of esptool, "Permission denied"

from makeesparduino.

Yes, but without BUILD_EXTRA_FLAGS it works perfectly.
I think it sais the error is with esptool because of a " or \ that breaks the arguments .

Sending parameters with space from the command line is always problematic.

Can't you use a "config.mk" and put your definition of BUILD_EXTRA_FLAGS there?

from makeesparduino.

This tool, dynamically flashes the attached board with a specific sketch, this approach of passing data directly thru the build command is ideal ... a "config.mk" would be the same thing as generating a "CONSTANTS.h" and importing it (what I am doing now).

It is almost there, it passes data, but at some point here https://github.com/plerup/makeEspArduino/blob/master/makeEspArduino.mk#L465
$$v{$$key} =~ s/(-D\w+=)"([^"]+)"/$$1\\"$$2\\"/g; it messes things up .

from makeesparduino.

Try setting BUILD_EXTRA_FLAGS as an environment variable

from makeesparduino.

Got it to work using

make

The problem was indeed esptool, I was using the one from https://github.com/espressif/esptool, commented it out so espmake would use the one from Arduino and it worcked.
It only failed wen using BUILD_EXTRA_FLAGS.
