CubeIDE: Build fails (make: returns with error 2)

[OLenz.1]

Hi

I try to build a small project (only timer interrupt triggered led blinking) to get familiar with the basic tools. But CubeIDE quits a build with following:

08:47:42 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project SandkastenF3 ****

collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [makefile:45: SandkastenF3.elf] Error 1
"make -j4 all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

Has anyone an idea to solve this, please?

My guess is it doesn't play well with spaces in paths. Remote the spaces from the path and see if that solves it.

Well, I tried this before, but unfortunately without success.

Better use -L to specify your (add) library paths and use e.g. -lledcircle to link with libledcircle.a.

It’s wise to avoid paths with spaces to avoid trouble and extra work with quoting.

"Better use -L to specify your (add) library paths and use e.g. -lledcircle to link with libledcircle."

Ok...but how to do?

Ok, I found the option. Now it works.

Maybe there was another problem: The builder option was at "external builder". I set it to "internal builder" ans put the -L-option in, now it works. :)

Thanks.
