Proper way to fix library compilation errors

PlatformIO IDE
1

Hello - I’m new to the PlatformIO user community. Recently I tried to compile code that uses the FastLED library on a XIAO-ESP32C6 processor and the compiler flagged a number of errors. While the errors seem easy to correct, I’m not sure how I should make the corrections. I’m concerned that if I correct he version of the library on my system my corrections may be overwritten by a future update to the library. I’d appreciate advice on dealing with this matter. - Thanks! - Jim

Can you share your platformio.ini and minimal code to reproduce the errors?

I’m happy to share the various logs though it will be later today as I’m at work now. Thanks!

Hello MaxGerhardt - For reasons I cannot explain, I’m now able to build code with the FastLED library. But since you were kind enough to offer to help me, and since you requested I post my platformio.ini file contents, I’ve posted the contents of my platformio.ini file below:

; PlatformIO Project Configuration File
;
;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
;   Advanced options: extra scripting
;
; Please visit documentation for the other options and examples
