Cannot run target or simulator

[GunkutA]

Hello, I cannot run target nor run the simulator eventhough I can debug the solution file from VisualStudio. There are no errors in the VisualStudio. So what might be the reason behind that? Detailed Log is showing tons of errors and failures.

Here is the TouchGFX Designer Output: (It is too long so I put last lines of it.)

 The thing is the places where log says "error" or "fail" there is no problem in the VS project.

You have to consider that we use gcc to compile for the simulator through TouchGFX Designer. If you write specifically for gcc, some code won't compile in a Microsoft compiler, and vice versa. _int16 is microsoft specific.

[GunkutA]

So how can I fix that? If I fix VS then Touch GFX will not be able to compile if the opposite then VS will not compile.

[Martin KJELDSEN]

It's not quite that complex. Use something that both compilers understand, like int16_t instead of __int16.

[GunkutA]

Unfortunately VS 2019 does not recognize int16_t

[GunkutA]

Edit: I changed them to int. Then visual studio accepted it. Thanks for the help Martin.

Visual studio supports fixed-width integral types (in stdint.h), like int16_t. Both gcc and msvs understand these.
