My imported project build fails, how to fix it?

[SidPrice]

I have imported an STM32 project, created and debugged in the past using STM32CubeIDE. When I try to build this project in VSCode I see:

Executing task: Build 

build task started....

"C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.EXE" --build "D:/DataRoot/Projects/IO Technologies/IHP Controller/build/debug/build"

The parameter is incorrect

CMake Error: Generator: execution of make failed. Make command was: && 

build finished with error(s).

No changes were made to the imported project.

Please advise how to proceed.

Do you have this installed?

Yes, I followed the getting started instructions for the extension.

could you try a path without spaces

Hello,

I suspect the issue is some kind of extension conflict in VSCode. I have created a profile that has just the STM32Cube extension and I then tried to open an existing local project, one without spaces in the path/name. When it is loaded I see the following:

@Nawres GHARBI​ Any suggests please, I am totally unable to use this extension :(

[robotdad · Accepted solution]

This looks like it might be an issue with our integration of vcpkg with the Embedded Tools extension. Can you report this here so we can dig into it?

[Nawres GHARBI]

seems that vcpkg is not activated, are you on a secure/business lan?

[CsBe]

I have the same problem with vcpkg. (network: secure/business lan)
