Looking at the esp32 recipe you should not reach the 32k max characters while compiling but you may have some filenames over 260 characters.
Could you try changing the MAX_PATH under your Windows OS? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation

I just purchased a new PC as of last night. My old laptop was failing. I will let you know how I make out once I get everything installed. Thank you for your help.
I understand that std::fmax is part of cmath, but when I look at one of your header file it references math.h instead.
I really donāt want to have to troubleshoot all your dependency files to solve this problem. I would think you might have a conflicting reference problem that most likely needs to be resolved.
If you guys donāt want to help, then I will move on to another ML applicationā¦
Thanks,
Tony
Hi @tcontrada, please understand that weād love to help you, but itās hard when we cannot replicate the error, either on the ESP32 or on a different development board.
We reference cmath here, also the only place where we use std::fmax: https://github.com/edgeimpulse/inferencing-sdk-cpp/blob/67f085eb39033edf80e1ea8e41f5c089b65187e3/tensorflow/lite/kernels/internal/max.h#L18

This will always default to std::max, but my feeling is there might be something wrong deeper so youāll probably run into another error at a later point.
@tcontrada. If you went to the website I provided yesterday you would have seen they were talking about the same issue you are having. They edited the file āmax.hā and added || defined(ARDUINO) as shown below. They did the same with min.h. This should resolve the issue that you are having.
#if defined(TF_LITE_USE_GLOBAL_MAX) defined(ZEPHYR)
|| defined(ARDUINO)
inline float TfLiteMax(const float& x, const float& y) {
return std::max(x, y);
}
#else

inline T TfLiteMax(const T& x, const T& y) {
return std::fmax(x, y);
}

Hi, yes that did fix the compile issue. But I have the long filename issue now.
I did the RegEdit for allowing long file names, but still get the error.
I saw the post about adding the platform.local.txt file to this folder,
C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\mbed\1.1.4\
The problem is I donāt have an mbed folder along that path!!
Yes, I did state that I have the long file problem after the fmax fmin fix. I have yet to find a solution but my laptop died. So I will have to try with the new laptop when I get time. But aurel said he was going to look into the issue and find a solution.
The platform.local.txt solution works for Arduino Nano boards, Iāll boot a Windows OS tomorrow to check more deeply.
But you can already try this:
This should bypass the compiling issue but you might still having an issue during linking.

@electronictechgreg @tcontrada I missed the link @electronictechgreg added, but great! Iāll make sure we set that define on ESP32 targets in the future.
@aurel I tried as you asked.
I set LongPathsEnabled to 1 in the registry and rebooted my PC. I tried to recompile the sketch but sill get the same error.
fork/exec C:\Users\Greg\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\tools\xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc\1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc.exe: The filename or extension is too long.
Same hereā¦ Waiting for a fix, I hope!!
I tried with Visual Studio Code and Platformio just to try to see if it will compile. I donāt know much about how to use this compiler but I received the error below.
test_project_inference.h: No such file or directory
But I will wait for a solution in the mean time for the Arduino IDE. A solution wll eventually come about.
I managed to compile under the Arduino IDE, basically putting all object files in an archive to bypass the Windows command line issue.
You can create a platform.local.txt file under the ESP32 target folder (C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\1.0.4) with the following content:
## Customized platform.local.txt to compile for ESP32 targets under Windows
## This recipe works around the Windows limit of 32k characters in a cmd line by calling .o files from a text file during linking
## Install: put file under your esp32 sub-directory - ie:C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\1.0.4
## You can also find the local arduino folder in the IDE under File -> Preferences -> see preferences.txt location in the bottom part of the window
## hooks
# create a txt file with all object file paths from libraries and sketch folders
recipe.hooks.linking.prelink.1.pattern=cmd /c dir /b /s {build.path}\sketch\*.o > {build.path}\obj_files_tmp.txt
recipe.hooks.linking.prelink.2.pattern=cmd /c "dir /b /s {build.path}\libraries\*.o >> {build.path}\obj_files_tmp.txt 2>nul & exit 0"
# replace \ by \\ in file paths (otherwise escaped by linker) and save in new txt file
recipe.hooks.linking.prelink.3.pattern=cmd /v /c "@echo off && for /f %a in ({build.path}\obj_files_tmp.txt) do (set line=%a && set line=!line:\=\\! && echo !line! >> {build.path}\obj_files.txt)"
# save object files in archive
recipe.hooks.linking.prelink.4.pattern=cmd /v /c "@echo off && for /f %a in ({build.path}\obj_files.txt) do ({compiler.path}{compiler.ar.cmd} {compiler.ar.flags} {compiler.ar.extra_flags} {build.path}\custom_lib.a %a)"
# delete txt file and archive after linking
recipe.hooks.linking.postlink.1.pattern=cmd /c del {build.path}\obj_files.txt
recipe.hooks.linking.postlink.2.pattern=cmd /c del {build.path}\custom_lib.a
## modify compile patterns (use custom_lib.a instead of object_files)
recipe.c.combine.pattern="{compiler.path}{compiler.c.elf.cmd}" {compiler.c.elf.flags} {compiler.c.elf.extra_flags} -Wl,--start-group "{build.path}\custom_lib.a" "{archive_file_path}" {compiler.c.elf.libs} -Wl,--end-group -Wl,-EL -o "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.elf"
Let me know if that works for you.

Also, the patch around fmax is now live, just re-export your project as Arduino library.
You guys are amazing.
@aurel it compiled and uploaded to the target successfully. Next I will read through the documentation and run it on the device.
Thank you both very much for your help.
Yes, I got the program to compile without errors and was able to download the static_buffer example to the ESP32 CAM.
Thanks!!
Now I need to figure out how to run the model that I created!
I created my image object recognition application, which I exported to the Arduino for the ESP32CAM,
So how do I get my data into the application?
When I run the application, I get the following message in the Arduino IDE Serial Port Monitor:
Edge Impulse standalone inferencing (Arduino)
The size of your āfeaturesā array is not correct. Expected 9216 items, but had 0
Thanksā¦
You need to fill the features[] array with your image RGB values.
Iād suggest to proceed with following steps:
Once it works, you can proceed with filling the features array directly from your ESP32Cam (you should capture a 96x96 pixels image) and check results for 1 image.
Final step is to fill the features array dynamically in the loop() so your inference can run continuously.
