I am a complete new user to the ESP32 so my apologies for any stupid questions, here we go:
I started this week exploring the ESP32 using eclipse version 19-09 and am able to build and run templates such as hello world, blink, adc2,.. using eclipse.
I have a colleague who wrote some code that I would like to start from for a project. The code works perfectly on his computer and we are both under windows, use eclipse 19-09 and python 2.7 and followed the same github tutorial to install the esp-idf.
He exported his code in eclipse to a zip file archive. When I want to import the code, I unzipped the files and import => existing IDF project -> browse to the files, and copy the project to the workspace. When I build this project, I get this error:

TO be complete, his code started from the adc2_example and I see the adc2_example_main.c file in my project explorer in the project that I imported (I called it helloworld_adc_4 as its the 4th attempt to import it). Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!
