Some dependencies perhaps not met with v5 IDF and MDF

[mathos00]

Not sure if this is really an issue, but:

Did a fresh install of v5 IDF under Windows 11. Tested with Hello_World and Blink, which worked fine. Am using the Powershell environment created by the IDF.

Then did a fresh install of the MDF via git, as per instructions here (which mirror instructions on the Espressif website).

Tried to run "idf.py menuconfig" in the "get-started" directory, but got errors referring to possible component dependency issues related to mdns and coap.

Looked up mdns and coap on https://components.espressif.com/, and noted the commands to run:

idf.py add-dependency "espressif/coap^4.3.1~1"
idf.py add-dependency "espressif/mdns^1.0.8"

Then "idf.py menuconfig" worked, so appears it was an dependency issue.

Not sure why those don't seem to show up in the default setup. In any case, it can be a bit confusing, especially since there is no note in the setup guide that one might run into this.

idf.py add-dependency "espressif/mdns^1.0.8"

i tried and still got the same error The component mdns could not be found.
