Failure to compile

[mr_swift]

New user, fresh download of STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0.

Created the demo "hello world" c++ project. Then attempted to compile it. It fails with the message:

Error: Program "make" not found in PATH
PATH=[C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_2.0.0/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.jre.win64_3.4.100.202508201254/jre/bin/server;C:/ST/STM32CubeIDE_2.0.0/STM32CubeIDE/plugins/com.st.stm32cube.ide.jre.win64_3.4.100.202508201254/jre/bin;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_2.0.0\STM32CubeIDE]

I have examined the contents of C:\ST\STM32CubeIDE_2.0.0\STM32CubeIDE and i dont see "make.exe" anywhere in the directory tree. Where is it? Why doesnt the IDE find it wherever it is?

Help

STM32CubeIDE is not set up to create fresh projects, despite whatever "new project" features are shown there.

Use the standalone STM32CubeMX to create a project and, after generating code, click "Open Project" to open it in STM32CubeIDE.

Hello @mr_swift and welcome to the ST community,

I invite you to read this knowledge base article: STM32CubeIDE 2.0.0 workflow tutorial

Especially the section 2. New workflow with STM32CubeIDE

Hope that helps.
