I have taken over a project from a colleague. When I run "Run Simulator" or "Run Target" I get the error message: ld.exe: cannot find -ltouchgfx What could be the reason for this error?

Hello @Roger.ch​ ,

Did you already try to uninstall and reinstall TouchGFX ?

Otherwise, please also follow the introduction guidelines. There is maybe something in the installation procedure which might help you solve your issue.

Thanks,

Hi Yoann. 

Thank you for your submission.

I have uninstalled versions 4.18 and 4.20 and reinstalled very strictly according to instructions.

Unfortunately without much success. 

Where should this "module" be installed and where are the entries so that the ID.exe can find them?

Greetings, Roger

Can you share your project here please ?

libraries not visible to the project, check lib paths and where it is trying to fetch them from, and if they are there.

​

C​reate a new project, have that build successfully, and review how that's constructed.

Thank you very much for your comment. The project is now running.

Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.

When comparing a new project I noticed that the directory ".....\Project\Middlewares\ST\TouchGFX\touchgfx\lib\core\cortex_m7\gcc" was extremely empty.

I then simply copied the folder from a self-generated custom project. And what can I say, it works.

Many thanks to all involved.
