Struggling to compile klipper_esp32

I'm trying to get klipper_esp32 to compile to run on my ender 3. I have been using ESP-IDF in the WSL command line thing, but it fails whenever I try to actually build the file, the error message I'm getting is

ninja: error: '../components/klipper/klipper.dict', needed by '../components/klipper/compile_time_request.c', missing and no known rule to make it

so far I have gone through the setup on the klipper_esp32 github, and espressif's "Standard Toolchain Setup for Linux and macOS" and had no trouble compiling and running the example provided, which leads me to thinking it is something particular about the klipper_esp32 files thats causing a problem.

if anyone knows a fix , or an alternate way to run klipper on an esp32, as from what I understand its not natively support, that would be great, thanks.
