cannot use arduino libs, reports version 5.0.0 of the idf. (IDFGH-6250)

[DigKleppe]

WIth the master branch cmake reports 5.0.0 instead of 4.4(?)
The latest release is 4.0.4 ( not 4.4 ? i am a little confused)
With this release also troubles: (I have copied arduino in the idf folder)
` CMake Error at
/home/dig/esp/esp-idf-v4.0.4/components/arduino/CMakeLists.txt:14
(message):

Arduino-esp32 can be used with ESP-IDF versions between 4.4.0 and 4.4.99,
but an older version is detected: 4.0.4.

`
Can I fool something to make arduino libs work?

Hi @DigKleppe, ESP-IDF v4.0.4 is the last bugfix update for ESP-IDF v4.0. ESP-IDF v4.3.1 is the latest stable release of ESP-IDF at time of writing.
ESP-IDF v4.4 has not been released yet, but there is a release/v4.4 branch where this release is being prepared.

(Unfortunately Github UI labels 4.0.4 release as "latest", simply because that's the latest release in chronological order which we did. However 4.3.1 is the "newest" stable release in terms of version numbers, even though it was done before 4.0.4...)

You can learn more about different ESP-IDF versions (including stable releases, pre-releases, and release branches) here: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/versions.html.

Until v4.4 version is officially released, to use arduino-esp32 as an IDF component, you'll need to check out release/v4.4 branch. You can do this by following these instructions: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/release-v4.4/esp32/versions.html#updating-to-a-release-branch. Please use release/v4.4 branch when running git checkout command.

@DigKleppe Did you solve your problem with using proposed versions? Thanks for update!
