Stm32cube usb serial include error

Development Platforms
1

I’m trying to get usb serial working in my project, but I get the following error:
usbd_def.h: No such file or directory

I’ve followed the instructions in this topic: PlatformIO for stm32 and CubeMX include error
I’ve copied the contents of inc and source to lib/stm32 and I’ve added the required lines to platformio.ini.
The tool stm32pio doesn’t work for me.

I’m creating a few projects in platformio with vscode. The projects have to run on an ESP32 and two different STM32 mictrocontrollers. For STM32 I’m using stm32cube framework so I can do bare metal programming. I’ve got freertos working.

SO what exactly is your profile structure (tree)? Where did you put the USB middleware files, what’s your platformio.ini and code?

my middlewares are stored here:
C:\Users\Chris\.platformio\packages\framework-stm32cube\f4\Middlewares\ST\STM32_USB_Device_Library
I did not create the middlewares folder in my project tree. I’m thinking it doesn’t link to the library in the framework.

Ok. The project builds if I manually copy the middlewares folder. A dirty solution because both platformio and stm32cube exist to provide users with basic drivers. A missed opportunity.
