Improve project importing and CMake Tools integration for pico-examples #46

Open will-v-pi opened 2 months ago

will-v-pi commented 2 months ago

The pico-examples repository is just one example, but there are a couple of improvements that I think will help with importing other projects too:

Add/replace set(PICO_BOARD xxx CACHE STRING "Board type") to the imported project CMakeLists.txt - and also add board selection to the Import Project webview
Detect whether a project will require CMake Tools, and switch to that (maybe with a popup to ask the user) - this will be for any project where there are multiple executables (eg pico-examples)
As part of this, maybe add a command to toggle between CMake Tools and this extension for compiling - this would toggle
- "raspberry-pi-pico.cmakeAutoConfigure": true -> false
- "raspberry-pi-pico.useCmakeTools": false -> true
- "cmake.configureOnEdit": false -> true
- "cmake.automaticReconfigure": false -> true
- "cmake.configureOnOpen": false -> true
Use the "Configure CMake" button to trigger configuring the CMake Tools extension (like we do for the launchTargetPath stuff)
Remove "toolchainFile" from generated cmake-kits.json - it's not necessary, as the SDK configures the correct one
