  • I am getting the following error when building my first project:
    make: *** No rule to make target ‘../../../os/common/startup/ARMCMx/compilers/GCC/mk/rules.mk’. Stop. RT-STM32F767ZI-NUCLEO144 C/C++ Problem
    I am using ChibiosStudio 2023-02. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    • Hi Robert, if the project is located in the workspace you need to amend the makefile.

      To do so you need to update the variable CHIBIOS in the makefile to point at were your chibios folder is in relationships to your makefile.

      E.g. CHIBIOS = ../../chibios2111
