Cmake erros when building - cannot launch menuconfig anymore

[Thierry91]

I have a brand new installation of vs code with ESP-IDF.
I try to compile my own code + a custom component. It'a generating a lot of errors when linking. I've spent hours reading docs and forums with no success. Someone in a forum was suggesting to erase SDKconfig and to regenerate it with menuconfig. I did erase, but when I try to launch menuconfig, it does not and trough errors similar to those I had when trying to build the project. Any help welcome. Thanks

Errors :

That was a misinstallation. I've uninstalled vs code, cleaned all the files and directories (including the "code" directory where vs code stores many things), done a brand new installation of vs code and added the espressif extension, recreated the project, and now it works.
