LVGL_Arduino.ino fails to compile: fatal error: lv_demo.h: No such file or directory image

Installed lvgl and lvgl_examples libraries from Arduino lib manager. Followed “Get Started guide” to the word: https://docs.lvgl.io/master/get-started/arduino.html Open example from Arduino>File>Examples>lvgl>Arduino>LVGL_Arduino TFT_eSPI is working, it’s demos run fine. lv_conf.h is next to lvgl folder in Documents/Arduino image

lv_conf.h content is enabled with “1”. Colour depth and tick are correct. lvgl/examples content is copied to lvgl/src/examples lvgl/demos content is copied to lvgl/src/demos

When i uncommend “”#include <lv_examples.h>“” like suggested in the sketch, compile now fails at lv_examples.h not found.

This is the code (lvgl arduino demo)

#include <lvgl.h>
#include <TFT_eSPI.h>
/*If you want to use the LVGL examples,
  make sure to install the lv_examples Arduino library
  and uncomment the following line.
#include <lv_examples.h>

@kisvegabor Thanks for posting the fix to the lv_demo.h not found issue One of the links above no longer works but simply moving Arduino\libraries\lvgl\demos and examples folders to below src fixed it for me (v8.3.6)

I uninstalled the examples library.

There was a typo in LVGL_Arduino.ino. You should include #include <demos/lv_demos.h>. See 801d776e7

Have you followed the steps here? image
