Arduino external library compiler error

Robbert Lee

I am trying to use an external Arduino library to operate an LCD. It can display correctly under the compilation of the Arduino IDE, but it fails to compile in Embed. Can you tell me how to modify it?

Hi Robert, 

Here is the core issue the Adaftuit GFX library depends on an internal class and set of methods in the Adafruit_SPITFT class. This was missing in your case in the diagram. With the inclusion of the cpp below you should now see no compile errors. Let me know if works on your end . I can only verify my compile works but do not have the board and the LCD to test.

Hi Robert , 

Could you please provide details on the library in this case that you are trying to use and the version. I see there are different versions of the adafruit library and it is not clear to me. 

Also could you please add the compile error log and post it ?

Hi Sreeram,

The program is running properly and the LCD is displaying correctly. Thank you very much.
