	VM version 2024_0607_2200 with VS2022 and ESP32-Arduinoo 3.0.1: Compiling debug version of 'XXXXX' for 'DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1 (esp32_esp32doit-devkit-v1)' fatal error: opening dependency file nul.d: Permission denied An error was encountered during the 'Deep Search' library discovery process. Debug build failed for project 'XXXXX' I've also tried with deep search 'off' (bad idea!) and SCons (didn't compile either). I've attached a compile log with most of the PII data removed (I think). Let me know if / what other logs would help you. Thanks.

	For clarity, if I remove ESP32-Arduino 3.0.1 and restore v2, everything compiles (and works) fine. The only changes to our code are those required to accommodate the breaking changes introduced in v3.0.1 (timers API in this case). Obviously, to compile with v2, I have to back these changes out too.

	Thanks for the report and the detail. I believe I can see what is happening, though not sure why I cannot reproduce the same error. If possible, could you install the 3.0.1 Board Package again, and recreate the error. Then if you open the platform.txt file in C:/Users/XXXX/AppData/Local/arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/3.0.1/, and edit the compiler.cpp.flags to remove the -MMD flag. It should then compile as normal, but we will continue to investigate.

	Hi Simon. Thank you. I'll do that a little later. The -MMD flag is requested in the v2 to v3 migration guide, if I remember correctly. I'll re-install and re-run without the flag later tonight though. Thanks.

	Hello, The build completes fine after removing the -MMD flag. I'm not sure (or sold on) what value the flag adds but according to https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/migration_guides/2.x... If your project uses extra flags in the compilation process, it will now overwrite some required default flags. To ensure your project compiles correctly, make sure to have the -MMD -c flags in your C and C++ extra flags. So this is likely to come up again. Thanks. PS: moving from v2 to v3 of Arduino-ESP32 caused a 144 KB increase in the binary output to 1008 KB. That's a very substantial increase - not something VM can do much about but another one to be aware of, I guess.

	Thanks for trying this and the detail around the changes in binary size. We will test the changes, and update when there is a release available with the fix in to automatically remove the flag.

	New version looks good and compiled. I added the -MMC flag to the extra c and cpp flags too and they were removed. Thank you for the quick turnaround on this.
