Building project failed

[geisterfahrer]

Hello,

I hold the Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 and recently acquired the Visualgdb to build and debug projects from STM32.

If I start a new project, e.g., LEDBLINK (HAL), it builds the project without a problem.

 

However, when I try to build another project that is being developed the following error is displayed in the Error List:

Error   MSB3073    The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Sysprogs\VisualGDB\\VisualGDB.exe" /build "C:\Users\gg\Documents\GitAlpha\EMCab_Backup\AppAlpha2018.vcxproj" "/solution:C:\Users\gg\Documents\GitAlpha\EMCab_Backup\BootloaderAlpha2018.sln" "/config:Debug" "/platform:Win32"" exited with code 1.

AppAlpha2018 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v170\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets Line 45

 

• VisualGDB 5.6R9(build 4777)
• Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) – Version 17.7.4

This issue began after I updated the Visual Studio, I tried to downgrade to the previous version, reinstall the VisualGDB, but nothing worked.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

All we can see from this error message is that a legacy project (non-MSBuild and non-Advanced-CMake) did not build.

Normally, the errors window or the build log should contain other error messages that should explain what is going on.

Thnk you for the answer.

The build log message displays the following message:

Run “C:\Program Files (x86)\Sysprogs\VisualGDB\make.exe CONFIG=Debug -j12” in directory “C:\Users\gg\Documents\GitAlpha\EMCab\BootloaderAlpha2018\AppAlpha2018” on local computer

Apparently, the issue was solved.

The following solution proved to be effective in this error:
In Solution Explorer right click on the project -> Visual GDB Project Explorer ->Embedded Project -> Regenerate MCU Files -> Apply & Ok

However, the relation between this solution and the given error is still not clear. Finding the solution to this error was like trial and error.

[support]

This means that at some point some settings in the project were changed to hardcode the toolchain paths, and regenerating the MCU files reset those settings. Without knowing what exact settings were changed, it is not viable to suggest anything meaningful.
