trying to create a bare bones project and I keep getting a "recipe for target 'all' failed"

How do I get a bare bones project running?

so, what tools are you using and where is the (stripped down) code (Makefile)?

Sorry my question was too general. I started TouchGFX 4.18.0. Created a project from the template for STM32H745I-Disco. Added a box, made it blue. Added a button with text and compiled it.

I could not get it to download with this basic setup to the target. It would compile but would give me an error when I downloaded it.

Go into the CM7 makefile for your project and change "text_database := $(asset_texts_input)/texts.xlsx" to "text_database := $(asset_texts_input)/texts.xml". That did the trick for me, and you will only have to do this once. I have regenerated code in TouchGFX Designer multiple times and it didn't overwrite this ammendment. I think it's because ST switched the text format from .xlsx to .xml recently... Hope this helps!
