When compiling as an ESP-IDF component I get the following error:

/usr/local/src/blink/components/arduino/cores/esp32/Arduino.h:121:6: error: conflicting types for 'random'
 long random(long, long);
      ^~~~~~
In file included from /usr/local/src/blink/components/arduino/cores/esp32/esp32-hal.h:30,

      ^~~~~~

Hardware:

Board: VintLabs PWM Devkit
Core Installation version: 1.0.3 (master, commit bab3a70)
IDE name: IDF component
Flash Frequency: ?40Mhz?
PSRAM enabled: ?no? ?yes?
Upload Speed: ?115200?
Computer OS: Gentoo Linux

Description:

I had this problem occur on my primary development PC recently (it had worked in the past before updates). Today I did a fresh install of esp-idf (master branch, commit a7e8d87d3e5ccc9e5ffcd701a1bac587ba4f43ea) and the toolchain, then copied examples/blink and installed arduino-esp32 as a component in components/arduino.
Without even adding #include "Arduino.h" to the code, make menuconfig && make results in this error.

I suspect the issue is actually related to using compiler version 8.2.0 , and I will look into how to change to a previous version to test.

Regards
Paul

arduino-esp32 is currently built against esp-idf 3.2 (and toolchain 5.2.0). Any newer version will give you errors in the compile.

Thanks - I suspected it was something just that simple. I have tested with idf 3.2, however I haven't yet figured out how to install a specific version of the toolchain. I'm sure it's right there in the docs but I have overlooked it.

Thanks again.
Paul

Resolved by getting correct version of toolchain using git checkout esp32-2019r1_ctng-1.23.x and using v3.2.2 of esp-idf:

git checkout release/v3.2
git submodule update --init --recursive
