Make sure you have the github library for XPT2046_Touchscreen as follows:-

lib_deps = https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/XPT2046_Touchscreen.git

Earlier versions of the library don’t have the same parameter

In reply to Jim McGinness. For sure. I'm a C# dev and I find it confusing trying to get a lot of platformio projects up and running fast. I'll go back to basics and learn referencing libdep, ini etc from scratch.

This is a fairly common problem people have when trying to use lvgl under platformio. For example, see:

https://forum.lvgl.io/t/need-to-understand-how-to-define-the-location-of-lv-conf-h/16296

The lvgl library makes some assumptions about the build environment that you may need to make adjustments for. My repo for CYD experiments is on a different laptop; I may be able to look at it to see how I handled this problem.

I had to move lvconfig.h and a couple of others, then change the .ini file. New to platformio. All a bit weird lol. I do believe you guys should make the .ini and file structure clearer for beginners. You should really start a learning platformio series. A lot of people want to move to VS Code and they’ve been following you long enough to know the need for more advanced programming. Thanks Sara.

I get a library reference error repeatedly for #include in main.cpp but it’s referencing lv_cong.h? Any fix? I’ve tried some Build flags but they’re not helping [{
“resource”: “/D:/PIO/CYD_UserData/src/main.cpp”,
“owner”: “C/C++: IntelliSense”,
“severity”: 8,
“message”: “cannot open source file \”../../lv_conf.h\” (dependency of \”lvgl.h\”)”,

In reply to Andrea. I am having the same issue. Have you found a solution?

In reply to Andrea. I am facing the same problem, although it is working if I am using the same code on Arduino IDE
