Build Icon Greyed out in STM32CubeIDE after opening project from STM32CubeMX.

KishanMalanthra · ‎2026-05-10

As in attached image, the build hammer icon is greyed out after importing project made in STM32CubeMX version -- 6.17.0 to CubeIDE version -- 2.1.1.

I have selected tool chain as STM32CubeIDE in the Project Manager in CubeMX and after generating the code, i tried by opening the project from CubeMX as well as importing project to CubeIDE.

MCU : STM32G474 series.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hello @KishanMalanthra

It seems that the project has not been imported properly.
It's recommended that you check this post: Solved: Can't build imported demo project - STMicroelectronics Community and follow the steps to import your project into CubeIDE.
