Compiling fails for some boards on Windows PC's

[joekam54]

In VS-Code on a Windows mashine the compiling fails for the ESP32 boards, It works without issue on Linux.

Iam New to the ESP32 and want to figure out what potential the things have.

Here the errors below, I hope you can give me a hint what I am doing wrong. I would like as a first goal that my Cheap Yellow Display plays videos and later also pictures from the sdcard.

Appreciate if you could help me to get started 😉

Did you find any solution? It happens for me too!!

Super late contribution but I had the same exact problem and fixed it. I just removed all the boards that I didnt need compiled in the platformio.ini file and simply didn't modify the pins that the readme tells you to. Here is my platformio.ini file that allowed me to compile
