Re: LVGL 9.1.0 and lvgl_esp32_drivers compile errors

agreed. the whole LVGL + arduino + any board is just a mess. Nothing found online compiles. There are too many API changes from LVGL v8 to v9 which breaks a lot of stuff. poor documentation and standard examples.No, I am still strugling. I do not understand, why all documentation states, that ST7789 and LVGL should go together easily with ESP32, when it is so difficult to get to work. No online examples work, most of them will not even compile, the documentation is incomplete. It seems like a mess of new libraries, old drivers, strange files to include or not to include, and a more or less undocumentet implementation via the menuconfig.
I consider myselv relatively skilled in ESP32, and have done some big project, with a lot of selv-implemented drivers and hardware. But this is simply over my head. I used countless hours, getting nowhere.
Do anybody have an example of a simple HELLO WORLD, that works on a ST7789, using the built in LVGL library?
I will give a beer for a working example.....
Hardware used: ESP32-S3-N16R8V
Platform: ESP-IDF
Editor: VSCODE with PlatformIO plugin
I would like to avoid any Arduino libraries, and not to use Arduino platform. I switched to EDP-IDF some years back, and I feel I have a lot more control over the hardware, using ESP-IDF.
