CMake Error while trying to build a uf2 file for the Raspberry Pi Pico

While trying to execute the cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" .. command I'm getting the error CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may not be built correctly# multiple times.

The CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)

project(nrf CXX)

include(pico_sdk_import.cmake)


pico_sdk_init()


add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME}
src/main.cpp
src/NRF24.cpp
)
target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PUBLIC

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}

)

pico_add_extra_outputs(${PROJECT_NAME})

pico_enable_stdio_usb(${PROJECT_NAME} 1)
pico_enable_stdio_uart(${PROJECT_NAME} 0)
