Touchgfx Error Der Befehl "Co."

[ulwa]

Hello, 
I'm trying to use TouchGFX. 
I created a new project and clicked on Generate code. 

Afterwards I get the following error message, which I do not know how to handle. Do you have any suggestions?

> Der Befehl "Co." ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

This means something like "the command 'Co.' could not be found".

Somewhere in your makefile or a script called from there will be the sequence "Co." by accident...

[ulwa]

I created a new project and did not do any modifications to the makefiles afterwards. 
How can I find out where the command 'Co.' is called?

[Andrew Neil]

Do you have any file or folder names with spaces (or other "special" characters) in them?

That is often a cause of such "strange" error messages ...

PS:

Why did you put the output log in a 'Spoiler' tag?

 

[ulwa]

Where would you put the output log? 

I used a quite simple path as project location:
C:\temp\testgfx\MyApplication\touchgfx

So I think the path should not be the root cause?

My TouchGfx is installed in C:\TouchGFX\4.24.1.

Use the 'preformatted' option - see here.

Or just plain text.

[ulwa]

Ok, thanks for the hint with the preformatted code. Still I found no solution. I tried to find out if I could make the output more verbose but did not succeed. Any hints on that?

make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile assets -j8

Review the makefile (named "Makefile") in the given directory.
Or post it's contents here if necessary.

The make command is trying to execute something that is not a command.
It might be indirectly via environment variables.
 

[ulwa]

I cannont find the comman Co. in the makefiles. It would be helpful to know wich line causes the error....
If I call make from the shell in the touchgfx environment the build works, but not from the touch gfx gui.

I would recommend to capture the full output, and work your way back to identify were it came from.
Your make file contains several string manipulation operations like this :

sq = $(subst $(sp),?,$1)
...
makefile_path := $(call qs,$(dir $(call sq,$(abspath $(call sq,$(makefile_name))))))

Which is probably were it goes wrong.
