Brand new 4.12.3 install - how to fix generate assets error?

[SPemb.1354]

Hello, I have just installed both V4.10.0 & V4.12.3 of touchGFX, to try and get either of them to work.

I cannot get either version to run a simulation or generate code from first use of the software, and am just setting a simple coloured box and circle on 1 screen to test the software at this point.

Have uninstalled and re-installed both. Same problem.

I have tried using a PC Simulator application template and STM32F750 Discovery application template, still same problem.

I have also tried editing the .touchgfx file PostGenerateCommand line to "PostGenerateCommand": "echo post generate", as suggested in other forum posts.

Nothing is working so far.

The error I get when pressing simulate is:

Run simulator

Generate

Done

Generate assets

make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile assets -j8

The system cannot find the path specified

Failed

Failed

 

Please can someone help point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

OK I have scoured the internet trying to find a resolution, but have not found it yet.

I have also tried adding various paths to the windows environment variable and still cannot clear this error.

Maybe there is a simple fix that I am unaware of (and if anyone could help shed some light on this it would be very appreciated !), but until then unfortunately the software is completely unusable to me.

I shall uninstall and try again with a future release.
