STM32CubeIDE can not update LoRaWAN_End_Node.ioc without severe breakage

[Dana Myers]

I used STM32CubeIDE 1.6.1 and STM32_WL V1.0.0 to create the LoRaWAN_End_Node example project. When I edit the IOC file to simply add support for CRC and regenerate sources, I can no longer build the example.

I get a huge number of duplicate symbol errors - example:

"make -j16 all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

How do I use the tools in a way this does not happen?

Thank you,

Dana

After completely deleting the workspace and freshly re-installing STM32CubeIDE, this issue appears to have gone away.
