Hi, I am trying to build the everything example given in the unphone library([examples/everything · main · Hamish Cunningham / unPhoneLibrary · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/hamishcunningham/unphonelibrary/-/tree/main/examples/everything)). 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: ```auto 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](https://pastebin.com/23zdQwwy) 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](https://pastebin.com/05ap69Q3) Are there any steps I missed when building, or posting this issue? ---

My solution to this problem was to download [libraries9.zip](https://gitlab.com/hamishcunningham/unphone/-/raw/master/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](https://pastebin.com/D200BLdj) 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](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 ---

Thank you!! Finally got it to build :))
