Code not compiling while importing to platformio, but working on Arduino IDE

Im working with a ESP32-S3 based LCD from waveshare, i downloaded the example they provide and it worked and compiled without issue, but when i imported the sketch to platformio, it fails to compile at the same errors every time, what should i do?

This is the board im using:

ESP32-S3 2.8 Inch - Waveshare

The output from compilation is the following:

This is my platformio.ini:

[env:esp32-s3-devkitm-1]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32-s3-devkitm-1
framework = arduino
lib_extra_dirs = ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries

If your sketch is targetting Arduino-ESP32 3.x, you need to use platform = ... from pioarduino. This API is not available in Arduino-ESP32 2.x.

The change in ledCattach() is even called out in the migration guide.

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/migration_guides/2.x_to_3.0.html

This probably works using the ArduinoIDE because you’re presumably using Arduino3 over there. That’s the key difference.

PlatformIO is holding you (and all their users) back. Back on old versions of ArduinoIDE, gcc, g++, binutils, libc++, and lots else. PIOArduino, not PlatformIO, is the place to be for modern hardware and library support.

It’s a pretty messy time in this corner of the industry. The intersection of PlatformIO + Arduino + ESP32 just needs some time to heal and redirect people back toward supported combinations of tools.
