Pico Project Generation Error

[IshaanKarnik]

I'm generating project for first time using Pico Project Generator. I've created a new build for Raspberry Pi Pico development.

I've added PICO_SDK_PATH, PICO_PLATFORM=rp2040 and parth to arm gcc compiler in environment variables.

What am I doing wrong?

CMake Output

'nmake' '-?'

failed with:

   The system cannot find the file specified


CMake Error: CMAKE_Pico_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_W_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
