Hi Argon,

The error seems to be:

Code: Select all

 C:/Users/Homos-Skiptikus/Desktop/blink/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CMakeLists.txt

  Permission denied

Does the directory C:/Users/Homos-Skiptikus/Desktop/blink/build/ exist on your computer? Are there any non-ASCII characters or anything else in this path? (Recent versions of ESP-IDF should handle this, but it's been a known issue in the past.)

Can you think of any reason Windows might return "Permission Denied" when accessing a file in this directory?
