Error messages while trying to add libraries to platformio.ini

Libraries
1

Im trying to switch from the arduino IDE to the PlatformIO extension for Visual Studio Code, but im having issues with libraries. I believe ive found all the libraries i have listed in my program, added them to the “platformio.ini” file but im getting errors related to them. Ive created a new project file and was going to make a simple example to upload but after adding the code to platformio.ini i decided to see if i still get an error and i am, hence why its a bare main.cpp.

Platformio.ini

[env:megaatmega2560]

platform = atmelavr

board = megaatmega2560

framework = arduino

lib_deps=

  adafruit/Adafruit HX8357 Library @ ^1.1.10

  adafruit/MAX6675 library @ ^1.1.0

  adafruit/Adafruit GFX Library @ ^1.10.4

  adafruit/Adafruit BusIO @ ^1.7.2

This is the main.cpp. I havent actually requested to include the libraries yet

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {

  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {

  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

This is the error message im getting in the terminal

The terminal process "C:\Users\mannf\.platformio\penv\Scripts\pio.exe 'run'" terminated with exit code: 1.

Im a little confused with the above. I found the following post

Wire.h not found, platformio latest version

which refers to one of the libraries im having issues with “Wire.h” but when i wrote “Wire” in the platformio.ini file as suggested in the post its still not removing the error. I also cant find one file called “Wire” when i search in the libraries.

Wire is a builtin library. PlatformIO’s library dependency finder (LDF) needs a little help here. You need to #include <Wire.h> in your main.cpp file after Arduino.

It would probably also fix the error as soon as you include one of the other libraries which depend on Wire.

Another thing would be to set the LDF mode to a more aggressive setting, like deep+ or chain+, but this costs time and the first solution should work.
