I can confirm this error, happens with the esp32 IDF installation. It looks like 'gevent' isn't compatible with recent python releases. gevent/gevent#1982 and doesn't look like there's an approved fix as yet.

If you're not targetting esp32 devices then try install.sh esp8266 (or rp2040, etc)

ESP-IDF version 5 doesn't seem to be affected by this problem. Try:

INSTALL_IDF_VER=5.0 $SMING_HOME/../Tools/install.sh all

See https://sming.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_inc/Sming/Arch/Esp32/README.html#idf-versions.

[dpechman]

yes, 5.0 and esp8266 only have finished without errors
tks

[dpechman]

what is the recommended python version for use with idf 5.0? I am targetting esp32.

using 3.10.12 it was able to compile Basic_Blink using make SMING_ARCH=Esp8266 no errros

But using make SMING_ARCH=Esp32

At the moment it is impossible to build Sming for Esp32 & Wifi on current ubuntu releases. IDF 5.0 is broken due problem with SPI Flash access #2653 and IDF 4.4 due the gevent problem.
The IDF fork is still at 4.4.3, at espressif they might fixed the gevent problem with 4.4.4+ espressif/esp-idf#12249

CI building with ubuntu 22.04 and updated install scripts. Please reopen issue if problems persist.
