Hello everyone,
I was trying to create a custom repository of amazon-freertos v202106 with esp-idf 4.2.1 for my project.
I was following the steps mention here.
My repo looks like this

- freertos
- freertos-configs
  - aws_clientcredential.h
  - aws_clientcredential_keys.h
  - iot_mqtt_agent_config.h
  - iot_config.h
- components
- src
- CMakeLists.txt

main CMakeList.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)

project(freertos_examples)

# Pull in ESP-IDF defined CMake build infrastructure logic to configure the project, discover all the components, etc
set(esp_idf_dir "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/freertos/vendors/espressif/esp-idf")
include(${esp_idf_dir}/tools/cmake/idf.cmake)
# Tell IDF build to link against this target.
set(IDF_PROJECT_EXECUTABLE my_app)
get_filename_component(
    IDF_EXECUTABLE_SRCS
    "src/main.c" ABSOLUTE
    )
# Add some extra components. IDF_EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS is an variable used by ESP-IDF
# to collect extra components.
# get_filename_component(
#     EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS
#     "components" ABSOLUTE
# )
# idf_build_component(${EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS})
list(APPEND IDF_EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS ${EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS})
get_filename_component(
    EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS
    "components" ABSOLUTE
)
list(APPEND IDF_EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS ${EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS})

set(AFR_BOARD espressif.esp32_devkitc CACHE INTERNAL "")
add_subdirectory(freertos)

# linked.

                    AFR::core_mqtt
                    AFR::backoff_algorithm

                    AFR::mqtt_demo_helpers
                    AFR::device_shadow
)

When I run the command
cmake -DVENDOR=espressif -DBOARD=esp32_devkit -DCOMPILER=xtensa-esp32 -S . -B build -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1 -DIDF_SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS=./sdkconfig

I m getting the error:

I found some discussion on the freertos forum
Here they gave some patch to resolve the issues. but I found those patches are already there in the espressif/boards/esp32/CmakeLists.txt file.

So, I not understand then why this issue is coming.

Thanks for your help.

Moving to the Espressif category so that the @Espressif team can have better visibility as well.

Also, I see that you set -DIDF_SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS=./sdkconfig.
What happens when you set it to
-DIDF_SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS=/home/horsemann/Desktop/WorkSpace/aws_latest_repository/customRepo/freertos/vendors/espressif/boards/esp32/aws_demos/sdkconfig.defaults?

@abrinao I fixed this issue by putting the sdkconfig and sdkconfig.defaults file in /home/horsemann/Desktop/WorkSpace/aws_latest_repository/customRepo/freertos,
Thanks for the help.
