Hello Team,

I was trying to create and debug a simple C++ based simple hello world application with CubeIDE IDE.

Project gets compiled and exe is generated successfully.

 I see all C++ development tools available in installed packages. attached is the screenshot of error I am receiving.

Can I debug a normal C++ application using GDB debugger in workbench??

If yes may I get some information how to resolve issue.

Best Regards,

Satish

The error message is unrelated to the use of C++. The project doesn't look like a STM32 project. Start with a STM32CubeIDE generated C project first. Check the numerous "Getting Started" guides and videos. Then transform main.c to main.cpp.

The is C++ based for sure and not STM32 project as mentioned already.

My observations are as below; any C++ based application to debug in STM Cube IDE needs some GDB packages. I was trying to install some of them. However it gets partially installed. Some important one can not be installed as shown in attached screenshot.

C++ and STM32 are no way mutually exclusive. You have created a local (host) C++ hello world project. You can debug it as a "Local C/C++ App". Workes for me oob. But, this a feature of the underlying Eclipse+CDT tool and out of scope for STM32CubeIDE.

Hello,

It looks like there is latest version released V1.5.1, I was earlier using 1.5.0 where in I faced this issue.

On latest version I could develop and debug both kind of projects like local simple hello world project and ST controller based project.

Thanks and regards,

Satish
