Hi @GC-RmG!
What you call the “LittlevGL team” consists mostly of volunteers who spend their free time building and improving this excellent open source library.
If someone volunteers making some videos it could be nice, but I don’t think this is a priority. At least not for me.
It’s easy if you have Windows installed.
For many of us who only use Linux - it’s irrelevant.
I’m sorry to hear that.
I can try helping you, although I’m not sure what the problem is.
But I can tell you that many are building the binaries without any issues.
First step is to identify if the problem is related to Micropython or to lv_micropython.
- Please try to build Micropython binaries without lvgl (not lv_micropython), in your environment. lv_micropython is based on Micropython, so let’s first see if that is building ok.
Clone it, checkout version v1.12 and follow the README that explains how to build the ESP32 port. - Micropython v1.12 supports two versions of ESP-IDF. Before building Micropython you need to select one of them and checkout that exact version of esp-idf by checking out that specific hash.
- When building the ESP32 you need to select your specific board. If your board is not supported, select a generic board or define your own board.
- Another thing you can try is building the unix port instead of the ESP32 port, to see if the problem is limited to ESP-IDF or not.
If you get stuck there, then the right place to ask is the Micropython forum which you are already familiar with.
lv_micropython is based on Micropython v1.12, so once you can build Micropython it should be easy to move on and build lv_micropython.
The errors you showed us are related to ESP-IDF so I suspect they are related to building Micropython on your environment, and not related to lv_micropython.
Please try these suggestions and tell us how it goes.
Read all the docs, follow the instructions and I’ll try to help you if I can.
When you eventually succeed building it - you are welcome to make some YouTube videos as you suggested and share them with us!
