How to properly configure device with TouchGFX enabled in STM32CubeIDE?

[njinodra]

I am trying to use STM32CubeIDE for with STM32F429i DISC1 for generating code with TouchGFX enabled in Device configuration tool. I have configured Touchgfx options as shown below.

After clicking EXECUTE button in touchgfx tab, touchgfx window opens.

In touchgfx, while trying to Generate code I am getting error. I have attached output_PostGenerate.log file

After closing TouchGFX, when i am trying to build project i am getting following errors.

I guess this is one of the "caveats" of an Eclipse based solution. You're most likely using a lot of standard components, but what you'd really want is a way to create a "TouchGFX" project which is then, implicitly, is a C++ project.

Maybe there'll be more cases like this, but it's definitely something we can talk to the CubeIDE team about. It's great to have this kind of real life usage information.

Best regards,

When a new project is created in the embedded CubeMX, on the first page either C or C++ can be selected (page where the project name is typed in).
