esp8266/NodeMCU: 'E2END' was not declared in this scope

[drzraf]

I'm trying to compile and upload the firmware from Arduino IDE to an IdeaSpark esp8266 (NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)) device (not sure if it's supported in the first place).

First problem encountered:

Compilation error: 'E2END' was not declared in this scope

Is the reliance upon E2END correct and an expectation for every board or is to avr-centric? Is this attempt a dead-end or something that could realistically be overcome?

I haven't tried compiling for ESP8266 yet, only Arduino. I don't expect it to be very hard, but some libraries might need replacements.

Regarding E2END, I don't think we should rely too heavy on it. Maybe we should have some configuration file to define constants such as these for boards that don't have them.

I don't have a lot of time right now, but I think I have an ESP8266 lying around somewhere. It would be nice to support it. If I can take some time off work I'll try compiling for it in the following days. Let me know if you advance any further, though...
