I'm trying to set up Pico development using Eclipse as an IDE, on a Pi5 running up to date PiOS (Bookworm).
Using Pico-related stuff as downloaded yesterday.
I've followed the instructions in Appendix D of "getting-started-with-Pico.pdf" (current version - build-date: 2024-10-15 build-version: 2b6018e-clean) and get the following errors when I try to build the Eclipse project files (for Pico2 and RP2350):It looks as if I need to set more environment variables; searching yields very little on Pico+Eclipse.
Any suggestions? (Please don't just suggest other IDEs; for now I want to start with Eclipse).
