"No such file or directory" error: STM32F429I-DISC1

[LNdungane]

Greetings All

I am implementing an ADC-based GUI on my board and my code is not building due to the abovementioned error (even when the file exists. I am using STMCubeMX(6.3.0), STM32CubeIDE (1.7.0) and TouchGFX(4.17.0) to develop my GUI. Most of these files are in the simulator folder so I figure there must be a way to omit them as I suspect that they may be giving me problems. This is for my final-year project and I am pressed for a solution. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hello @LNdungane​ and welcome to the Community :)

Maybe you haven't configured correctly the Include paths within your project.

So, you need to examine the example/template projects available with the firmware libraries STM32CubeF4 and use it as source of inspiration to configure the include paths, the defines and the structure with the stm32f4xx_conf.h in the project directory.

Good luck for your final-year project ;) and don't hesitate to come back to the Community if you still have issues.

What file or directory is it looking for?

Show the full error message, screenshots if helpful. Hard to debug with limited info.

@Imen DAHMEN​ "Maybe you haven't configured correctly the Include paths within your project"

^^^ THAT! ^^^

@LNdungane​ For an explanation of "include paths", see: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/46716/simple-adc-code/184681#184681

Note that this is standard C stuff - not specific to STM32

Hi Imen. I managed to get rid of the simulator files but I am getting compiler errors such as the ones above. I followed the prompts from another ST Microelectronics video (https://youtu.be/VOs2LYO7wSA) but the solution shown has not solved the problem. Any aassistance regarding this matter will be apppreciated.

Lebohang.

Hi TDK I have since resolved that issue. However I am faced with complilation errors. Please see the image below:

Thank you Andrew, I have resolved that matter and been met with compilation errors since. It's frustrating at this point.

would be better to copy & paste the text - your image has truncated the messages.

Fortunately, when you get loads of messages like that it's often down to just one problem (or a few problems) - fix them, and all the messages will go away.

The key is to address the earliest-reported message first.

Hi Andrew

The text (manually truncated ) is shown below, it extends for 500-odd lines in my console:

You have multiple source files redefining functions. Having two main.c files within a project should not happen.
