1 year ago Sorry, I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here. The cmake info was for building plain C/C++ apps, not building Arduino apps. Back when the Pico-SDK came out, getting the SDK up and running was a pain and the Tom's Hardware article was a gret help. Now, I think there's a more developed infrastructure (and a 1-click Windows installer IIRC).
You can use the arduino-cli or Platform.IO to compile an Arduino project from the command line or in a Cmakefile target. There's no Cmakefile recipe for building an Arduino app, to the best of my knowledge.
I'll move this to a discussion since it's more "how do I" vs. a core problem.
I am trying to figure out the minimal setup to build a sketch with cmake. In the readme, the only mention of building with cmake goes to a two year old Toms Hardware article, and the people in the comments of that article mention that the tutorial is completely broken. Also that tutorial makes no mention of cmake.
Anyway I very much appreciate this library. I am trying to merge my application with a serial bootloader someone has made that uses cmake. Any instructions on a basic cmake build setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
