Hi,

I have tried

• re-importing
• Installing vcpkg and exporting VCPKG_ROOT
• Using Pre-Release version of Embedded Tools
• Crying

Happy to share logs run tests etc. Just want my stuff to work.

Using

Ubuntu 23.04

VS Code 1.79.0

stm32CubeIDE 1.12.1

I have not installed anything specific except

CMake

Nigja build

Build Essential

Thanks,

Guessing this is the problem. https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/30474

Will investigate when work allows and feedback.

Want to spend sometime using the boards instead of getting software to work.

So add the setting for vs code

"vcpkg.diagnostics.additionalArguments": [ "--debug" ]

Lots of debug and it did fail. But I did notice it was looking in /home/iwiseman/.cache/vcpkg. Removing this and retrying still did not work but need I went to extensions for embedded and installed pre-release

It did not work straight away but removing the vcpkg directory again and it did succeed.

I now have an .elf .bin and .hex file.

Next is uploading and debugging.

Worked for me: execute the vscode command (Ctrl-Shift P) vcpkg: Activate vcpkg environment

 

Overall it seems coming from a deficiency of ms-vscode.vscode-embedded-tools
