TouchGFX Designer fails to generate assets

[HGray.1]

Hello,

I have installed the following on my Windows 10 PC:

STM32CubeIDE v1.6.0

STM32CubeMX v6.2.0

 STM32CubeProgrammer v2.6.0

TouchGFX v4.16.1

From the CubeIDE I can compile and debug code on my STM32F469I-DISCO board.

However if I try to create an example project in TouchGFX Designer, the following error appears:

Generate Assets

       make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile assets -j8

       'Co' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

       operable program or batch file.

       Failed

   Failed

This same error occurs if I try to generate code for my DISCO board or for the simulator.

I have tried multiple other targets and many of the examples, all with the same error.

I have removed all the applications and reinstalled from scratch, but the same error occurs.

Thanks for any help,

Hayden

Hello HGray.1,

After countless projects created with Designer, I never encountered this issue.

The error indicates "Co' is not recognized as an internal or external command," , this should be your best bet for finding the error.

Do you have any space in your project name or path ? Try to find where this 'Co' comes from.

Please can you provide the exact steps you performed to get this error ?

Hi Alexandre,

There were no spaces in any of the project names or paths I tried. For example I have used "Z:\Programming\TouchGFXProjects\" as the path and simple names like "Test" for the project name. I can't see where the "Co" would come from in these.

I get the error on my home PC, whereas my work PC is working fine compiling the same example projects. I installed the programs from the same downloaded files, so each PC uses the same versions.

Here is my workflow:

1. Start TouchGFX Designer from the Windows Start Menu
2. Change the Application Name to "Test"
3. Change the path to "Z:\Programming\TouchGFXProjects"
4. Change the UI Template to "SlideMenu Example"
5. Leave the Application Template as "Simulator"
6. Press the Create button
7. Press the Run Simulator button

Thanks,

Hello,

It turns out that this item in the path "C:\Program Files\CWF Hamilton & Co Ltd" is what is breaking the compiler.

In fact it only takes a single ampersand "&" anywhere in the path to break it.

This applies to the new 4.17 version as well.

Regards,

Hayden
