Simulator exits prematurely

[moredatalesscenter]

Hello, if I create a partial project from CubeMX, open it in TouchGFX designer, add a button and run the simulator, nothing happens. The simulator executable is built correctly, but it exits immediately with no errors reported.

Screenshots and logs please :)

Where are the logs located? There's nothing to take a screenshot of.

%APPDATA%/TouchGFX-4.13.0

Does the designer tell you that an error occured ?

Windows version?

[moredatalesscenter]

Windows 10. No error reported by designer. The log suggests a problem downloading a package. Is there a way to specify proxy server configuration?

[Martin KJELDSEN]

I've never seen this issue before but i'm seeing a lot of activity on various sites about generally faulting dgapi.dll in Windows.

[Martin KJELDSEN]

Designer uses the system proxy information, and that may be a blocker for downloading packages - BUT, it should not be a problem here if you're already at the compiling stage. You could try running the simulator outside of the designer.

Go to the application folder from a TouchGFX Environment and type

make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile
./build/bin/simulator.exe

See if you get the same error.

The simulator runs fine on my personal laptop which does not have dgapi.dll. This is on all our corporate machines and cannot be removed - is there any way around it?

Building outside Designer is not working:-

make.exe -f simulator/gcc/Makefile

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, ruby ../Middlewares/ST/touchgfx/framework/tools/textconvert/main.rb assets/texts/texts.xlsx ../Middlewares/ST/touchgfx/framework/tools/fontconvert/build/win/fontconvert.out generated/fonts generated/texts assets/fonts ., ...) failed.

make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
