Compiles OK on Linux and works, compiles OK on Windows but does not work

guidable8662 · September 24, 2025, 11:35am

The problem:

My project when compiled on my Windows laptop, no longer runs on my Cheap Yellow Display. (The screen is just white(There are no errors and everything goes as expected) When I compile and upload using Linux it works OK.
When I start monitoring I get: indev_pointer_proc: X is -1 which is smaller than zero lv_indev.c:714

This has started only several days ago. Prior to that I was compiling and uploading from Windows without any issues. (I’m unaware of any changes to the system that would affect this but am asking here to get some pointers on what the next steps are to troubleshoot this issue.

Steps I’ve taken:

Ran Full Clean

Any help is appreciated!

You did not specify the platform version in the platformio.ini.

Please check the installed platform versions on your windows and linux machine. Are they exact the same versions?

guidable8662 · September 24, 2025, 12:31pm

Thanks for the quick response!

I’m sorry, I’m new to PIO (I loving it!) so I’m not sure what you’re referring to exactly or how to get the info you’ve requested.

Is this what you’re looking for?

UPDATE:
I changed the platformio.ini file to:

[env:nodemcu-32s]
platform = espressif32@6.12.0

Now on linux it does the same thing. The indev_pointer_proc: X is -1 which is smaller than zero lv_indev.c:714 issue.

I’m slowly climbing down the version ladder. I’m on 6.10.0 right now with the same issue.

@sivar2311 I figured out what the problem is. My extra_scripts = copy_configs.py is not running anymore. Earlier it was working flawlessly. What would cause that?

When I copy the configs in manually it compiles as it should. I created this copy_configs.py to eliminate this issue and now it created the exact *issue I was attempting to avoid because I was relying on it.
_{*The issue of the custom config files for the libraries needing to be in a special place.}

Sorry, I don’t know. I have no expirience with advanced scripting.
I even didn’t noticed the extra script in your project.

In my opinion, the copy thing via an extra script is way to complex.
Why don’t you configure the libraries via the platformio.ini as described here for the TFT_eSPI library? Then no extra script would be needed (which reduces the level of complexity and sources for possible errors).

– As written before – “just my opinion”
I’m a fan of “keep it as simple as possible”

@sivar2311, thanks for the tip! I didn’t realize that was an option. Like I said, I’m new to PIO. The copy_configs.py was a solution that my AI agent suggested and it was working flawlessly. It allows me to use my config files from Arduino, so that’s the reason I was using it. But I see that I’ll likely need to use your suggestion. There’s likely another similar option for lvgl.

Thanks again for your help!
