Hello my name is Scott I am new to the community. I am trying to compile Marlin on VSCode for my Ender 3 with a BLTouch. I think I have all the proper extensions installed. When I compile it gets to the end then throws the following errors. Google has not been helpful the past couple of hours I am hoping I may find an answer here. Let me know what information you need from me. Thank you.

There is an inc folder at BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master\firmware\V1.2\Marlin-2.0.7.2-SKR-mini-E3-V1.2\Marlin\src\inc

BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3-master is the project workspace folder that was imported

From the errors, the two configuration files appear to be missing. Can you find them in your Marlin and/or config directories?

Which url did you download Marlin from?

Did you also download the Marlin config stuff?

Did you copy the appropriate Ender 3 config files to the correct location?

I don’t gave a 3d printer, so I’m not up to date with folder names etc, apologies for my vagueness!

Cheers,
Norm.

Long filepaths are known to cause random “file not found” problems. Shorten the path by moving the project folder up in the hierarchy or enable Win32 Long Paths as a general countermeasure.
