After trying to build using ninja, I get the following error.

[4/4] Linking CXX executable picotool.exe FAILED: picotool.exe cmd.exe /C "cd . && C:\MinGW\bin\c++.exe -O3 -DNDEBUG CMakeFiles/picotool.dir/main.cpp.obj CMakeFiles/picotool.dir/picoboot_connection/picoboot_connection_cxx.cpp.obj CMakeFiles/picotool.dir/picoboot_connection/picoboot_connection.c.obj -o picotool.exe -Wl,--out-implib,libpicotool.dll.a -Wl,--major-image-version,0,--minor-image-version,0 C:/Users/blam/Desktop/LIBUSB/VS2019/MS32/static/libusb-1.0.lib -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 && cd ."

The instructions in Appendix B of https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/pico/getting-started-with-pico.pdf work (and see also Chapter 9 of the same PDF). You're using both ninja and mingw, and I'm afraid we don't officially support either of those. (although if you do manage to get things working, we'll gladly accept a PR.)
