"Copy all used libraries into the project folder" option is greyed out / disabled in CubeMX > Project Manager > Code Generator. Why ? How can I enable it ?

[AMARI.4]

Hi - I am new to CubeIDE and CubeMX. I am following the "Getting started with STM32" tutorial, currently in "Step 2: Blinking LED with STM32CubeMX and HAL" which recommends using this option when generating code: "Copy all used libraries into the project folder".

However this option is greyed out / disabled and the second option ("Copy only the necessary library files") is selected by default. Why is the first option not even available ? How can I enable it ?

I am using the latest version of CubeIDE (1.7.0) which integrated CubeMX (6.3.0). Installed on macOS Big Sur.

Hi @AMARI.4​ ,

Welcome to Cube tools world 🙂

I confirm the first option is always grayed when you select STM32CubeIDE as the project generation IDE to avoid compilation error.

However it is available when create a project with STM32CubeMX.

This question is always raised here and you can have more details in our expert answer :

It is not possible to enable it but you can of course add manually afterwards the files you need.

Hope this helps you.
