My imported project build fails, how to fix it?

[SidPrice]

I have imported an STM32 project, created and debugged in the past using STM32CubeIDE. When I try to build this project in VSCode I see:

Executing task: Build 

build task started....

"C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.EXE" --build "D:/DataRoot/Projects/IO Technologies/IHP Controller/build/debug/build"

The parameter is incorrect

CMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: && 

build finished with error(s).

No changes were made to the imported project.

Please advise how to proceed.

Do you have this installed?

[SidPrice]

Yes, I followed the getting started instructions for the extension.

could you try a path without spaces

Hello,

I suspect the issue is some kind of extension conflict in VSCode. I have created a profile that has just the STM32Cube extension and I then tried to open an existing local project, one without spaces in the path/name. When it is loaded I see the following:

@Nawres GHARBI​ Any suggests please, I am totally unable to use this extension :(

[robotdad]

This looks like it might be an issue with our integration of vcpkg with the Embedded Tools extension. Can you report this here so we can dig into it?

seems that vcpkg is not activated, are you on a secure/business lan?

[CsBe]

I have the same problem with vcpkg. (network: secure/business lan)
