I had to reinstall Windows on my PC. I made a backup of my projects and after everything was running I've downloaded and installed the latest STM32CubeIDE version. I'm trying to import my TouchGFX project back to the new workspace but it isn't compiling anymore. The reported error is:

cannot find -l:libtouchgfx-float-abi-hard.a

c:\st\stm32cubeide_1.5.0\stm32cubeide\plugins\com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32.7-2018-q2-update.win32_1.5.0.202011040924\tools\arm-none-eabi\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -l:libtouchgfx-float-abi-hard.a

Any thoughts?

Hi,

What version of TouchGFX are you using ? Are you working with a custom project or are you using a TouchGFX Board Setup for one of ST's development kits ?

As Martin wrote, could you check your linker settings ? To do so right click on the project name in the Tree View in STM32CubeIDE, select "Properties". Then in the "C/C++ Build " tab go to "Settings" and check under the MCU G++ Linker that you have the correct library path.

Could you also check your library paths ? To do so right click on your project name in the Tree View in STM32CubeIDE, select "Properties". Then in the "C/C++ General" tab go to "Paths and Symbols" and check that you have the right includes and paths.

Please check the linker settings in CubeIDE - Are they pointing to the correct folder where the lib is located?

Hey there,

did you solve your issue?

I am having the same problem, but no clue how to solve this. I am very new to the CubeIDE.

Kind regards
