Running pubnub on esp8266

                  I.            Setup esp-open-sdk

a.       Requirements and Dependencies(Debian/Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get install make unrar-free autoconf automake libtool gcc g++ gperf \ 
flex bison texinfo gawk ncurses-dev libexpat-dev python-dev python python-serial \
    sed git unzip bash help2man wget bzip2
sudo apt-get install libtool-bin

b.      Building

git clone --recursive https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk.git
cd esp-open-sdk
make

c.       Using the toolchain

sudo echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\%HOME/@localPath/esp-open-sdk/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin" >>  ~/.bashrc
example: sudo echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$HOME/ws/esp8266/SDK/esp-open-sdk/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Test compiler:
xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc -v

d.      Pulling updates


make clean
git pull
git submodule sync
git submodule update --init

                  II.            Building the toolchain

a.       Install needed dependencies (as root)

                                                               i.      32-Bit Debian (Linux)
sudo apt-get install git autoconf build-essential gperf bison flex texinfo libtool libncurses5-dev wget gawk libc6-dev-i386 python-serial libexpat-dev
(replace $customPathwith the name of the local path)
mkdir /@customPath/Espressif

                                                             ii.      64-bit Debian (Linux)
sudo apt-get install git autoconf build-essential gperf bison flex texinfo libtool libncurses5-dev wget gawk libc6-dev-amd64 python-serial libexpat-dev
(replace $customPathwith the name of the local path)
mkdir /@customPath/Espressif

b.      Install the Xtensa crosstool-NG (as local user)


cd /esp-open-sdk/crosstool-NG

./bootstrap
./configure --prefix="$pwd"
make
sudo make install

./ct-ng menuconfig
