Stm32cubeIde: [Startup/subdir.mk:15: Startup/startup_stm32f100rbtx.o] Error 3

[Ruslan1]

Created a simple project for my vldiscovery board in STM32cubeIde. try to compile and get this error message. It seems that the compiler can't find directory Startup in path. Added it to the path list - the result is still the same. Whats that? how to solve?

Depends on what you mean by "resolve".

• To "fix" the issue and to resolve the problem on just your machine then uninstall STM32CubeIDE and reinstall it to the default location C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_1.0.0\...
• To "resolve" so that noone in the future has to fall into the same hole again, then you have to go into Eclipse sources and go thru all places it handles paths and make sure it can handle Windows pathstrings correctly. And if this can't be done then the installer should block installation paths which contain blanks

I reinstalled it to C:\ST. The error was disappeared.

Thanks!

p.s. They should notify users not to install to directories with noascii symbols.

I'll be sure to write it under "known issues" in the release notes of the next version of CubeIDE.

Did you change from D:\Calculations\STM32\ to C:\ST and now the error is gone?

Absolutely Incredible!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has wasted a few hours on this but what can I say, I'm just flabbergasted.
