Compile for ESP8266 fails

I have a lot of sketches for the ESP8266 all working fine. Now I have a little test sketch that fails.

platformio.ini starts the same as all others

[env:esp12e]
platform = espressif8266
board = esp12e
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
lib_deps = 

Why can I compile more then a dozend programs partly huge successfull, but not a small one?

You have left the lib_deps empty.
Here you must specify the DHT library that you want to use.

Example:

lib_deps = markruys/DHT
