these are the notable errors it spits out and i cant make sense of any of it.

`CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:37 (string):
string sub-command REPLACE requires at least four arguments.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:38 (string):
string sub-command STRIP requires two arguments.`

here is the full output of attempted make.

i figured it out. i ended up just commenting out the two lines in the CMakeList file that were throwing the error and then it compiled just fine and i was able to flash my board with the new firmware. no idea why those two lines were throwing the error or why they werent needed, but hey got it working.

lines in question i commented out.

#string(REPLACE ../../../../lib/ "" GIT_SUBMODULE_VERSIONS ${GIT_SUBMODULE_VERSIONS})
#string(STRIP ${GIT_SUBMODULE_VERSIONS} GIT_SUBMODULE_VERSIONS)

what is your IDF hash/version, if it is not the same as the one in the lib/, try to checkout it out first.

bee_s3 is not one of the supported boards, are you adding new boards ? and are you able to build one of the supported boards ? If yes, then it is probably issue in porting, try to comment/uncomment 1 line each time, and better to based your port on of of the supported boards (which build).

Yes I was trying to add a new board. I had tried building an already supported board as well and it failed with the same error and I had copied one of the supported boards and changed the relevant information for my board.

I'll try the line by line change and see what happens.

If that doesn't work I think I'll try this on a different PC. Maybe something is screwed up with the setup on this PC.

you probably need to run

git submodule update --init

If you done it already, it is probably due to the path difference between posix vs windows.
