I just bought a pico and I want to make a simple audio player. I followed a tutorial and have the circuit ready, I needed to flash my pico so I followed another tutorial. I did everything just like in the tutorial and I have the examples ready. The next thing I did was configuring all projects and I encountered this error:

The command: "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.EXE" --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug "-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain\10 2021.10\bin\arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe" "-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain\10 2021.10\bin\arm-none-eabi-g++.exe" -Sc:/pico/pico-examples -Bc:/pico/pico-examples/build -G Ninja exited with code: 1 and signal: null

I rechecked the tutorial and searched for this error but found nothing. I hoped this would be a plug-and-play experience after the setup but unfortunately, that's not the case. I'm a beginner and so I don't know much about microcontrollers.

update here. The next day I uninstalled everything and redid the tutorial. It turns out that I missed the checkbox for experimental support and changed the default editor to Notepad++. At that point I continued with the tutorial and the only other issue I encountered was the fact that compiling with NMake Makerfiles didn't work - so I just used Ninja instead. All is well now and I hope that I helped someone with this post that has the same issues as I have.
