Unable to build (unPhone 9 with Platformio)

unPhone programming
1

Hi,
I am trying to build the everything example given in the unphone library(examples/everything · main · Hamish Cunningham / unPhoneLibrary · GitLab). I first ran into the issue where I could not download the dependency - me-no-dev/AsyncWebServer. I tried using the git url instead but that also failed. To fix this I used the following libraries instead:

  ESP32Async/ESPAsyncTCP
  ESP32Async/ESPAsyncWebServer

which replaced the two libraries from me-no-dev. This got platformio to initialise successfully. I could now see the build option available in the platformio tasks section in VSCode.

When I try to build it however, I get an error saying In file included from .pio/libdeps/unphone9/Adafruit SPIFlash/src/Adafruit_SPIFlash.cpp:25: .pio/libdeps/unphone9/Adafruit SPIFlash/src/Adafruit_SPIFlash.h:32:10: fatal error: SdFat_Adafruit_Fork.h: No such file or directory

Here is the build logs: unphone build errors - Pastebin.com

I have tried this on macos, windows and windows-wsl - all with platformio
+
docker solution through build.sh and build.ps1
For the docker logs: Possible Spam Detected - Pastebin.com

Are there any steps I missed when building, or posting this issue?

My solution to this problem was to download libraries9.zip (referenced in the unphonelibrary readme) and unzip it into “.pio/libdeps/unphone9” in the project directory.

Then after compiling the project again the dependencies were no longer missing.

Hope this helps,
Ben

Ohh I see, completely bypassed that as it said platformio would not need it.

Upon trying this method, I now get a new error: New build error after using libraries9 - Pastebin.com
A bunch of new errors in Adafruit_ImageReader.cpp

Do you have any hint on how I can tackle this?

Thanks a lot,
Atri

Unfortunately I have not seen that issue before so may not be much help.

Does adding adafruit/SdFat - Adafruit Fork@^1.5.1 to the platformio.ini lib_deps help at all?

I already have that in my platformio.ini - and it seems to have no effect on this error.
thanks for the hints though!

No sure if it will help but my output of running pio pkg list for the “everything” project is linked here: https://pastebin.com/k5ahXiw9 (you can ignore the unphone7 dependencies I think)

Update: just ran into your exact issue regarding Adafruit_ImageReader.cpp when compiling a new project.

When doing these commands in order the issues seems to be fixed, although I am not certain why.

  1. Clear all download dependencies rm -rf .pio/libdeps/unphone9/*
  2. Unzip “libraries9.zip” into libdeps unzip libraries9.zip -d .pio/libdeps/unphone9
  3. Then upon compiling again it re-downloaded any missing dependencies and the error went away

Hope this helps and is the same for you
