Suddenly demanding SD library, and there's a conflict

My ESP Now Receiver program is running like a champ, but MAGENTA is too dark. I wanted to change the color.
While I was at it, I tried to add a non-GFX font. It didn’t work, so I deleted all of that stuff. but in the process i had to add the SD library. This TFT has an SD slot, but I’m not using it.
I plan to use SPIFFS to datalog pressure. But I’m not there yet.

But when I put the SD library back into .ini, there’s a conflict. Says wrong platform.

Can you tell me why it’s demanding SD? All of a sudden?
How can I make it stop?

Here’s the code:

SD libraries are tricky because they all have the same name… “SD”. However, if you just add SD into the lib_deps, and not arduino-libraries/SD@^1.2.4 juding by the

error, PlatformIO should pick up the correct library, that is, C:\Users\<user>\.platformio\packages\framework-arduinoespressif32\libraries\SD. Make sure to also remove the .pio folder of the project to get a clean build again.

It’s an Arduino library, so not hard to track down.
But I don’t need it.
I’m not doing anything with an SD card.

If you don’t provide the library, compilation of that other library will probably fail, even if you do lib_ignore = SD.

What’s the full platformio.ini.

But it fails either way, with or without SD.

[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32dev
framework = arduino
debug_tool = esp-prog
debug_init_break = tbreak setup
lib_deps = 
	SPI
	Wire
	WiFi
	esp_now

	https://github.com/ImpulseAdventure/Arduino-TFT-Library-ILI9486.git

Replace that with just

   SD

and remove the .pio folder of the project and build again. Does it make a difference?

It’s the principle of the thing. This program runs perfectly without SD. It never wanted SD until I tried to add a non-GFX font.
Something about the TFT called attention to SD cards.
I’m going to paste this code in to a new file and it will compile just fine without SD. But I don’t want to do that.

Yes, using SD worked. It built fine.

Sadly, as soon as library does #include <SD.h> and you don’t have that library added in the build system, compilation will fail even if you don’t use the aspect. That’s the nature of the compilation process.
