Makefile:44 Error 1

[jefazo92]

Hi everyone,

I have just created a project. I haven't done any modifications and I am getting this error when building the project:

make: *** [makefile:44: nucleo-g474re-blinky.elf] Error 1
"make -j8 all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.
 
19:26:10 Build Failed. 1 errors, 0 warnings. (took 1s.74ms)

Could someone help me out ? Thanks in advance.

44 only means line 44 in makefile. There should be more output in the console log indicating errors/warnings...

Thanks for replying @KnarfB​ . This is all I'm getting.

[KnarfB · Accepted solution]

The root cause error is "STM32G474RETX_FLASH.ld: No such file or directory"

Does this file exist? It should have been generated with the project.

My guess: its a problem with your project path "C:\Users\Gonzalo Andaluc??a\..."

Eclipse is notorious for having issues with non-ASCII letters, space, .... Try a simple path like C:\test1

How can I do this @KnarfB​  ? Do I just create another folder in C:\Users ? And paste the CubeIDE folder into it ?

[jefazo92]

Ok. I did it that way but did not solve anything. I will try to uninstall it and instal it again but now I'll instal the program in the new folder with ASCCII characters.

@KnarfB​  THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE. YOU ARE MY HERO.You were right, the accent was causing all the trouble so I had to rename my user folder. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and now I have finally been able to upload my first program into my MCU.

The issue got resolved when I renamed my project without any numerical. eg John1 to john. the path is still the same. I understand this is illogical fix, but worked for me, would be nice if someone got a valid explanation for this!! thanks

For me the same error was caused by a seemingly unrelated 'unknown type' error that showed after the makefile error 1 in the problems window.

Checking the console window would've helped: it showed the actual cause first.
