When installing/using different toolchain "error running CDT Builder" preventing build

Hello All,

I have searched the forums and cant find something that can help me solve this, so I am coming out of the shadows for some assistance.

I am completely new to STM32CubeIDE and I am attempting to build a project, using a different toolchain than what is the default.

When I attempt to build the project using the default toolchain "GNU Tools for STM32 (12.3.rel1)", the project builds just fine. However due to a problem with that toolchain on the project, I am required to use a different toolchain.

When installing and using a different toolchain (I have tried multiple and have gotten the same following issue), I get the following error:

Can anyone help, or maybe even point a poor noobie in the direction of an answer for this issue?

Thank you!

Okay, well, I reinstalled the program and updated, and now everything is working hunky dory. Thank you for taking the time to respond Pavel.

I am not sure how to mark this topic closed.

The CubeIDE user guide has something about using alternative toolchains. Have you read it?

I have read section 2.3.1.1 of the UM2609, and followed that in order to install and use the different toolchains.

Which toolchain do you use? Does it have similar layout (subdirectories etc) as the CubeIDE toolchain?

The default toolchain that I used that *is* capable of completing a build is GNU Tools for STM32 (12.3.rel1)

And the two that I have tried that are *not* capable of completing a build are as follows:

I apologize for my lack of understanding, but what do you mean by "similar layout (subdirectories)"? I am not sure where to look to answer that question.

Interestingly though I have noticed one seemingly major difference when selecting different toolchains.
When selecting the default and functioning toolchain, 12.3.rel1, in the MCU/MPU Settings, all of the available dropdowns are filled with selections:

However, when selecting a different Toolchain, say 10.3-2021.10, all of those dropdowns are empty, and it also is missing dropdowns:
