lvgl example project unable to build in espidf 4.4 eclipse

[sirOwlBeak]

Hi,

I had succesful builds and uploads with various example projects (ie, the provision examples and tcp stack demo) but the example project for lvgl is unable to build for me, this leads me to the following output

I understand that first symptom of this bug originates in the CMakeLists.txt file and more specifically, the documented fix. However, I understand very little so far from the actual building system to comfortably know how to present correct arguments to CMake.

Is anyone more knowledgeable than me able to shed light on this, if a quick fix exists could you point me in right direction. This is an exploration for a display technology for a production run. Hope I can get this to work with the esp stack

thank you very much

I think this gives a hint:

CMake Warning at C:/Users/User/esp/esp-idf/tools/cmake/build.cmake:482 (message):
"idf_component.yml" file was found for components:

C:/Users/User/Documents/ESP32/Workspaces/Display/lvgl/main

However, the component manager is not enabled.

I don't have enough experience with IDEs to fix this, but perhaps this can help?

(Altijd grappig om Nederlandse foutcodes te zien in een berg Engelse tekst, trouwens)

a bit of a late reply on my side,

For now, i did not bother with the lvgl sample. After a bit of looking around, I found some example code to specifically drive the lcd i had in mind of targetting. Which now works pretty decent for the time being. However, i am sure that the link to the build system explanation will come in handy later. So thanks for that resource.

thank you for the trouble of replying, and yes, i am from Belgium
