Importing external library (mongoose)

[frackers]

Greetings all

I've been using the mongoose http server library since version 2.8 (over 8 years ago!!) but I'm a newbie with esp32.

Having grabbed the latest esp-idf and cesanta repos, I'm at a loss as to how to put them together.

I thought that I treated the 'mongoose/examples/ESP_IDF' directory the same as the esp_idf examples (i.e. copied to working directory) and ran 'make menuconfig' but that doesn't get mongoose.c etc into the right place to start with (and in any case there seems to be no target 'menuconfig').

Does anyone have an idiots guide on what gets copied to where as I can find no documentation about this in either of the repos.

Cheers

Something to do with 'docker' is supposed to happen when doing stuff with mongoose. Anyone any idea what docker is and instead of yet another pile of crud is there a way of doing whatever it does manually?
