problem with pico compiler

[solozerouno]

I had this problem compiling for the Pico board.
I used your explanation to install the Pico compiler in Flowcode Professional 10.

Can you check that this path is correct on your system?

PICO_SDK_PATH is C:/Users/soloz/Downloads/pico-sdk

In addition to Bens post.
within the the instructions, there are points when to need to change the default un-ticked Add path to environmental to ticked.
Did you do that for ARM GCC Compiler, Cmake and Python?

I'm asking as the instructions don't show installing to downloads, but you have.
