Question

bug in stm32cubemx 4.23 makefile generator

(I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to report this)

STM32CubeMX 4.23 (tested with MacOS High Sierra, Arch Linux x86_64 with x32 binary emulation) is generating spurious entries during Makefile generation (such as Src/main.c and various other files listed twice) which causes link errors such as:

'.../Src/usb_device.c:63: multiple definition of `MX_USB_DEVICE_Init'

build/usb_device.o:.../Src/usb_device.c:63: first defined here'

The temporary fix is to remove any multiple entries from the Makefile, then all compiles and links (apparently) correctly.

Apologies If there's something wrong with my setup that is causing this, granted I've seen it reported elsewhere when searching for solutions to these errors

Thank you for your contribution.

I also experienced this problem on linux STM32Cube version 4.23.0. Oddly I generated a makefile in the Windows version 4.22.1, and it generated a Makefile that worked fine on linux, I only had to change the BINPATH to point to my gcc tools.

Thanks,

Mike

Running on Linux (Fedora 27) and I also have this duplicate source issue: Fixed it with this hack on /usr/local/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeMX/db/plugins/projectmanager/templates/Makefile.tpl

It's not nice but the sort removes duplicates.

# list of objects

OBJECTS = $(sort $(addprefix $(BUILD_DIR)/,$(notdir $(C_SOURCES:.c=.o))))

vpath %.c $(sort $(dir $(C_SOURCES)))

# list of ASM program objects

OBJECTS += $(sort $(addprefix $(BUILD_DIR)/,$(notdir $(ASM_SOURCES:.s=.o))))

vpath %.s $(sort $(dir $(ASM_SOURCES)))

Yep, that was reported, including the fact that SOURCES_DIR may contain also .c files (at least, main.c and stm32l1xx_it.c)

hello

Evandro Teixeira,

and

I confirm theissue of duplicated source files when CubeMX generates the code with makefile.

As you say, the workaround is to suppress every duplicated source files and it compiles and links successfully after.

Sorry for the inconvenience it may cause.

Our development teams are working on that point, I will keep you inform as soon as the correction is available in a CubeMX release.
