STM32CubeMX2: Limited export capabilities

Missing Makefile export capability. Missing option to export only minimum necessary files. Unfortunately this leads to bloated projects. The previous version of STM32CubeMX have these features. Clean and self-contain and not bloated project was the main reason to use STM32 in our company.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Exporting only the files your configuration actually uses is on the roadmap.
    Today the full pack gets copied in, which is exactly the bloat you're
    describing. No release date to give you yet.

    Makefile export as its own target isn't on the roadmap. The direction is CMake,
    and from a generated CMake project you can get a Makefile build:

        cmake -B build -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<toolchain>
        cmake --build build

    Not identical to what you had, but it works today.
