New Project Buid Failed even after main.ccp -> main.c

[piyushverma]

Hello,

I have renamed main.cpp to main.c it let move compilation move forware but at end it faile without any clear error message.
Here is log as below

Any Suggestion ?

Hi @piyushverma ! Are you able to compile your project using the same board in the Arduino IDE?

[piyushverma]

yes I follow instruction from https://github.com/tenbaht/sduino I can compile blink project.
With more testing I notice, just by adding delay(1000); in loop function it build successfully.
hope this information can help others.

Any idea how delay is effecting build success/fail ?

I've found the same here. A new project will not build. I can build if after completing the following steps:

1. Rename main.cpp to main.c
2. Add delay(1000); to loop function as suggested by piyushverma

Can anyone comment if we're doing something wrong, or does PlatformIO not work out the box with STM8 on some operating systems?

This is weird, feels like something is broken

And, did anyone encounter problems with IntelliSense on header dependency (stdlib.h not found) problem?
