I am using VSCode and ESP-IDF to program Arduino. Some of the Arduino library files are generating warnings such as below.
988/1135] Building CXX object esp-idf/arduino/CMakeFiles/__idf_arduino.dir/libraries/WiFi/src/WiFiScan.cpp.obj

esp_err_t err = ESP_OK;
I have tried setting -Wno-unused-function
flag in various places but have failed to disable these warnings. Can someone please advise the right place to set this build option so I don't see these warnings. I am using VSCode on MacOS. Thank you in advance.
CodePudding user response:
Navigate to your ESP-IDF
directory and look for build.cmake
file under esp-idf/tools/cmake
directory.
In the build.cmake
file - look for the section called function(__build_set_default_build_specifications)
- this contains all the default compiler options that are executed at build time. Include -Wno-unused-function
here, save and recompile your project!
But be aware that this will disable this warning globally and affect other projects as well.
