ESP3D V3 for ESP8266 error on building

[Stephano2000]

Hi,
As it's the 1st time I build ESP3D V3 for ESP8266 (I have built V3 for ESP32 and V2.1 for ESP8266 successfully), I am not sure again if I am missing something in the build process. I get the following output/error:

Bug or PEBCAK?

what is your configurtion.h? looks there is none

[luc-github]

nothing pop to my eyes - I will test it later

[luc-github]

I have tested using your configuration.h and no issue on my side :
platformio

Arduino ide + 3.0.2 core because git has a bug with esp8265 currently

[Stephano2000]

i will test on a windows machine with an updated Arduino IDE and report back.
I am currently on 1.8.19 (stock Ubuntu).
Btw, I can't locate a Reset button in the configurator.

[luc-github]

reset button in configurator is F5 refresh the page reset all

[luc-github]

I am on windows so could be a case issue but the github -ci run on linux and it is pass, so I do not think it is the problem

[Stephano2000]

I am not sure what you mean by core 3.0.2, but I tried to build for ESP8266 on the ubuntu box:

I think there is something wrong in this section of esp3d_config.h (don't mind the larger font):
`#if defined __has_include

if __has_include ("../../configuration.h")

#include "../../configuration.h"
#define ESP3D_CODE_BASE "ESP3D"
#else
#undef DISABLED
#undef _BV

if __has_include ("../esp3dlib_config.h")

#include "../esp3dlib_config.h"
#define ESP3D_CODE_BASE "ESP3DLib"
#else
#error "No configuration file found"
#endif
#endif
#endif`

If this part is deleted except #include "../../configuration.h", compilation proceeds though it hits some other seemingly unrelated error:

Tested on Windows 10 with Arduino IDE 2.0.3. Same problem.

[luc-github]

as you use arduino you can chose which esp8266 core is used , you are using core 2.7.4 , for esp3d v3 I used 3.0.2

[luc-github]

and better use esp3d v3 git version , alpha 2 is outdated now

[Stephano2000]

I updated the ESP8266 board core from 2.7.4 to 3.0.2, and i was finally able to build ESP V3 (git version) for ESP8266.
Thank you!

[luc-github]

I suggest you to use platformio,I ensure compilation is working out of box without issue
