Keep getting error ""make -j12 all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete"

[BRich.1]

Keep getting this error after compiling a new project that only contains one header file. I'm using STM32CubeIDE version 1.3.0 on Linux Ubuntu. I try to use clean project and it cleans it only for this same error to re-appear when starting up the debugging. How do I get around this error?

Full error description:

make: *** [makefile:43: STM32F446RE_Drivers.elf] Error 1

"make -j12 all" terminated with exit code 2. Build might be incomplete.

And there's nothing else in the output just these two lines?

Correct - just those 2, everything else came out normal

There should be at least a .c or .s source file as well.

[waclawek.jan]

What's exactly "everything else came out normal"?

Remove the parallel call to make (i.e. the -j switch) and rebuild. Capture and post the complete command-line and the complete console output.

I loathe the eclipsoids so don't know how to do this.

It's CubeIDE so it's unlikely there are less than several dozens of .c sources from the "library" and auto-generated. The very purpose of *any* IDE is to hide the "nasty details" from the users, so they are unaware of the real working of things. This is great until the first glitch, whatever is its cause. It's the very same paradigm as that behind the clicky generator and the "libraries".

CubeIDE will generate a really empty project if you ask it nicely. But I've tried it now, it is smart enough to complain when there are no compilable source files in it.

[BRich.1]

Actually yes - I wasn't clear, I apologize- there is a main.c and the header file is #include in it and THAT part compiles fine since I added it in the build settings. Is there a way I can show it to make it easier to see? WHen I said "everything else came out normal" - i.e. no other errors or anything that would stand out.

Seemed to work after adjusting the builder settings such that 'Builder Type' = 'Internal Builder' and 'Build Command' = make. Attached is the build script, theres 4 warnings and no errors, guess that means it's ok

Build is shown below:

23:20:47 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project STM32F446RE_Drivers ****

Info: Internal Builder is used for build
