Unable to get lv_conf.h to include. Arduino IDE, Teensy 4.1

Get started

Okay, forgive the minor ranting here, but I am losing my mind.

I have spent the entire day trying to get LVGL to load, with NO success.

I have:
Teensy 4.1
GC9A01 display w/ touchscreen.

I have both of these fully working. I have a display flush callback. I have a full UI designed in Squareline Studio.

But for the life of me I CANNOT get this library to load.

I’m using the Arduino IDE 2.1.1 (latest). I’ve loaded the latest version of LVGL from the Library Manager (8.3.8). I have followed ALL the instructions, moving lv_template_conf to the root of the library folder, renaming it as lv_conf.h, and configuring it properly:

I get the following error:

exit status 1

Compilation error: exit status 1

#include “lv_conf.h” gives me “fatal error: lv_conf.h: No such file or directory”

I am losing my goddamn mind here, please help.

what version of lvgl are you using?
Did you try LV_LVGL_H_INCLUDE_SIMPLE directive in the compiler?

Well, it works now after slapping my face into my keyboard for the last hour or so. Not entirely sure why.

I switched back to using VSCode, and installed LVGL 8.3.7 from there, and brought all my code over. Maybe it’s the Arduino IDE being stupid. Dunno.

Now I have to sort out touchscreen shenanigans.

Yes, these include files are not always easy to debug
