build error after i copied an example file to another location "No rule to make target"

[Shaawaiz]

Good morning everyone,

i am having a problem after i copied the example from the example project folder to another location.

i am using STM32CubeIDE 1.5.0. i opened this project

C:\Users\Admin11\STM32Cube\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_WB_V1.16.0\Projects\P-NUCLEO-WB55.Nucleo\Applications\BLE_LLD\BLE_LLD_Chat\STM32CubeIDE

i build it, ran it, without any issue. the board worked correctly as it should. However, when i copied the said folder "STM32CubeIDE" to my desktop to make some changes according to my requirements, i opened a new instance of IDE, chose a different workspace, chose the project on my desktop 

C:\Users\Admin11\Desktop\NewFolder\STM32CubeIDE

clicked build, i got this error

how do i fix it? is there any other way to modify the example code according to my own requirnment without changing the original code in the example? or can i change something to get rid of the error?

your help will be appreciated :)

Thank you in advance

edit: i tried copied the folder BLE_LLD_Chat instead of STM32CubeIDE. I was hit with another error

Hello @Shaawaiz ;

I recommend you to download and to use the latest STM32CubeWB firmware and the STM32CubeIDE toolchain version.

Please let me know if the issue is solved or not?

Thank you.
