Compiling multiple builds fails

[thermseekr]

Hi there

I'm trying to create two different environments for compiling Tasmota following directions from here. What I did so far:

In platformio_tasmota_cenv.ini:

[env:tasmota32-esp24v16ch]
extends                     = env:tasmota32_base
build_flags                 = ${env:tasmota32_base.build_flags}
                              -DFIRMWARE_ESP24V16CH

[env:tasmota32-crazy]
extends                     = env:tasmota32_base
build_flags                 = ${env:tasmota32_base.build_flags}
                              -DFIRMWARE_CRAZY

In user_config_override.h:

#ifdef FIRMWARE_ESP24V16CH

  #ifndef USE_MCP230xx_DRV
  #define MCP230xx_DRV
  #endif

  #define USER_TEMPLATE   "{\"NAME\":\"ESP-24V-16CH-V2\",\"GPIO\":[0,3200,0,3232,0,0,0,0,5536,10240,10240,0,0,0,5600,0,0,0,0,5568,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,608,640,0,0,0,0,0,0],\"FLAG\":0,\"BASE\":1}"

#endif

#ifdef FIRMWARE_CRAZY

  #ifdef USE_MCP230xx_DRV
  #undef MCP230xx_DRV
  #endif

  #define USER_TEMPLATE   "{\"NAME\":\"ESP-CRAZY\",\"GPIO\":[0,3200,0,3232,0,0,0,0,5536,0,0,0,0,0,5600,0,0,0,0,5568,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,608,640,0,0,0,0,0,0],\"FLAG\":0,\"BASE\":1}"

#endif

#ifdef MODULE
#undef MODULE
#endif
#define MODULE USER_MODULE

Upon compile I get the following:

I'm apparently missing some energy library. Can someone help me here?

EDIT: just double checked, I disabled (#undef) all references to energy metering via user_config_override.

Thanks

Good day everyone

I'm resuming trying to set up my environment for multiple builds. As I posted above, if I follow the instructions on the documentation the compilation fails, it looks like some energy related variables are not defined.

What I just found out, is that if I try to compile env: tasmota32_base, the compilation also fails. So, it makes sense that my builds will fail if they are based on tasmota32_base.

If I compile my builds from tasmota32 instead, all goes fine.

Does tasmota32_base depend on other definitions to be able to be compiled? I'd like to understand this better as I don't know if it's ok to compile custom builds from tasmota32.

Thanks
Tales

Using tasmota32_base is only when you want to fully control what you want to enable, without helpful defaults. As a starting point, it is even suggested to base custom builds on tasmota32, unless you want to manage all details, like with "inspiration" from what you get with tasmota32. If you "just" want to enable some optional feature, the easy way is indeed tasmota32 for a custom build.

Thank you @sfromis
Compiling from tasmota32 is indeed enough for my curent purposes.
Anyway, for the sake of knowledge, is there any documentation on how to use tasmota32_base?

[sfromis]

Not phrased like that. More generally, using build environments has a bit of examples/intro here:
https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Compile-your-build/#defining-multiple-custom-firmwares
Not "this is how to do it", more like to illustrate how the standard build process does it.
The point being that this can be a "starting point" to dive into the "real docs", code .....
