Trying to run idf.py menuconfig tells me that programs aren't in my PATH

Hey all, I think this may be a bug in idf.py. I'm trying to menuconfig my ESP32, but I get the following error:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\[user]\eclipse-cpp-workspace\Accl>idf.py menuconfig
Executing action: menuconfig
To use idf.py, either the 'ninja' or 'GNU make' build tool must be available in the PATH

C:\Users\[user]\eclipse-cpp-workspace\Accl>make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

So some strange things here:

1) IDF.py is telling me that I need either make or ninja in my PATH
2) I can run make as a user, and it seems to run fine.
3) I can also run cmake, though that's not gnu make

I think that this message may be very old, because I know that the old way of using menuconfig was a make command. Though, I'm not sure that's the case, as I'm relatively new to the Espressif workflow.
