How do I build my STM32CubeIDE code via the command line on Linux?

[VWied.1]

According to other answers on this website, it looks like I am supposed to do something like:

~/st/stm32cubeide_1.8.0/stm32cubeide --launcher.suppressErrors -nosplash -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -data "./" -build *

And I run the above line in the same folder as my .mxproject, .project and .cproject files.

The error I am getting is:

Error: Unknown argument: Drivers

According to the other answers for this online, there shouldn't be any additional steps here.

[Bob S · Accepted solution]

Try "all" instead of "*", presuming you want to build all the projects in the workspace. Just guessing, but the regex "*" may be matching all directories, not projects, since "Drivers" is a standard CubeMX-created directory.Hadn't tried headless build on Linux till now, only on Windows. "*" gave me the same results as you got. "all" worked.

Hey @Bob S​ That is exactly what I was doing wrong. Also when I was trying to call a specific folder, I shouldn't be using quotes. For others, if you want to build all do:

<stm32CubeIde_Installation_path>/stm32cubeide_1.8.0/stm32cubeide --launcher.suppressErrors -nosplash -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -data "./" -build all

And if you are trying to build a specific project (this example is helloWorld), do:

<stm32CubeIde Installation path>/stm32cubeide_1.8.0/stm32cubeide --launcher.suppressErrors -nosplash -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -data "./" -build helloWorld
