Compile error in Windows 11

[Charles Bang]

I need a help or guide.

I have a problem with TouchGFX.

I updated Windows to Windows 11 recently.

I can't compile it after it is updated.

This is my error message.

I tried to solve this problem by myself.

But I am not familiar with this kind of program.

Please let me know more detail.

What should I do to solve this problem?

Well, if this project is important to you, go back to WIn10 (uninstall Win11, take another Win10 machine) and be back to the business.

Win11 is new and things happen. Chinese wisdom says that change is evil; a billion of Chinese cannot be wrong.

Perhaps, try to enable win10 compatibility mode for  C:\TouchGFX\4.18.0\env\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\mkdir.exe

[Charles Bang]

I tried in Windows 10, it is same.

I think that is not related with Windows 11.

[Pavel A.]

Hmm. Could it be a buggy Cygwin mkdir.exe?

Try to play with it separately - does it fail outside of CubeIDE?

Is your computer managed by your company's IT and they recently installed or updated some "security" a-s-s-cover-ware?

[Charles Bang]

Yes, I tried to mkdir in the Command window.

It works fine.
