Arch Linux User Repository

STM32CubeIDE is now run by executing stm32cubeide_wayland official script. If you have issues related to run environment, try to edit /usr/share/applications/stm32cubeide.desktop file and uncomment one of commented out Exec=... lines and comment out currently used one. After making changes to stm32cubeide.desktop run update-desktop-database as root to apply changes.

Discussion about this Eclipse issues is here: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/158

Fails with:

PKGBUILD: line 19: xdg-user-dir: command not found

Please either remove this whole _DOWNLOADS_DIR logic (PKGBUILDs really aren't supposed to touch anything outside of $srcdir), or at least guard the xdg-user-dir invocation so it doesn't cause errors before makedepends are installed.

With v1.9.0, you must

1.) download the software file manually from https://www.st.com/en/development-tools/stm32cubeide.html selecting Generic Linux Installer and install it into the same folder where you find the PKGBUILD. Unfortunately the filename has changed, so additionally you have to edit the PKGBUILD file,

2.) change the line in PKGBUILD to:

_pkg_file_name=en.st-stm32cubeide_1.9.0_12015_20220302_0855_amd64.sh.zip

3.) makepkg -si

I don't have a J-Link so I can't say anything about that, sorry.

I was thinking about replacing integrated J-link for jlink-software-and-documentation. What do you think about that?
It was working fine in version v1.8.0 of IDE.

@tuankiet65 you are right, I don't know why arm-none-eabi-gdb from IDE need specific version of ncurses. Replacing it by arm-none-eabi-gdb from system was dirty quick fix, because I needed to debug some MCU :) Unfortunately "/" in path to GDB binary was somehow forgotten. I will fix this later today.

Also, the "Replace GDB by system" is a bit overzealous - it also removes the arm-none-eabi-gdb-add-index and arm-none-eabi-gdb-add-index-py scripts. Since those are just bash scripts, I don't think they should be replaced by the system equivalent (not to mention Arch's arm-none-eabi-gdb doesn't provide the arm-none-eabi-gdb-add-index-py script)

The part to symlink STM32CubeIDE's gdb to system gdb should use absolute part for system gdb:

ln -s /usr/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb "${pkgdir}/opt/stm32cubeide/plugins/"com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32*/tools/bin
ln -s /usr/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb-add-index "${pkgdir}/opt/stm32cubeide/plugins/"com.st.stm32cube.ide.mcu.externaltools.gnu-tools-for-stm32*/tools/bin

Here's an edited PKGBUILD for v1.8.0 that worked for me. I did have to manually download the 99-jlink.rules.patch file and place it in the build directory when using makepkg.

I find the direct link to download 1.7.0 archieve : https://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/software/sw_development_suite/group0/d5/f6/71/a8/3f/91/40/97/stm32cubeide_lnx/files/st-stm32cubeide_1.7.0_10852_20210715_0634_amd64.sh.zip/jcr:content/translations/en.st-stm32cubeide_1.7.0_10852_20210715_0634_amd64.sh.zip

and the lastest direct download link could get from https://www.st.com/content/st_com_cx/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-ides/stm32cubeide/_jcr_content/get-software/get-software-table-body.nocache.html/st-site-cx/components/containers/product/get-software-table-body.html, which is like this

maybe it is ok to use this URL as source in PKGBUILD instead of local://xx ?
