Lib_deps- can't get PlatformIO to recognize these libraries

Your Gateway to Embedded Software Development Excellence — PlatformIO latest documentation in general and especially Redirecting... as I have linked above. Also the FAQ. There are also loads of example projects.

You may also find it interesting to add lib_extra_dirs (docs) to your platformio.ini configuration as e.g.

[env]
; default arduino IDE library path for windows
lib_extra_dirs = ${sysenv.HOMEDRIVE}${sysenv.HOMEPATH}\Documents\Arduino\libraries

this will make all your previously installed Arduino IDE libraries visible PlatformIO, though it is recommended to do per-project library management via lib_deps to avoid global state.

Please paste code as text in Markdown format so that people can simply copy paste them.

I have no problems compiling this code in PlatformIO with

platformio.ini

[env:uno]
platform = atmelavr
board = uno
framework = arduino
lib_deps = 
    Adafruit SSD1306
    Adafruit GFX Library

src\main.cpp

#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
#include <Fonts/FreeSerif9pt7b.h>

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64

Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, -1);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  if(!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C)) {
    Serial.println(F("SSD1306 allocation failed"));
    for(;;);
  }
  delay(2000);
  display.clearDisplay();

  display.setFont(&FreeSerif9pt7b);
  display.setTextColor(WHITE);
  display.setCursor(5, 15);
  // Display static text
  display.println("28 May, 4:22pm");
  display.println("23C, 0% Hum");
  display.println("Hello world!");
  display.display();
}

void loop() { }
