FAQs

What is the primary difference between lv_port_pc_visual_studio and lv_port_pc_vscode?

lv_port_pc_visual_studio is designed for MSBuild-based LVGL projects within traditional Visual Studio, while lv_port_pc_vscode is for CMake-based projects in Visual Studio Code. This repository is specifically for users who prefer the full Visual Studio IDE on Windows.

Which Visual Studio versions are supported by lv_port_pc_visual_studio?

The project is actively maintained using Visual Studio 2026 and may work with Visual Studio 2022 version 17.13 or later. For older versions like Visual Studio 2017, 2019, or 2022 before 17.13, it is recommended to use the release/v9.4/legacy-vs-solution branch.

How do I ensure all necessary components are cloned when using this repository?

This repository uses git submodules for other LVGL software. You must clone with the `--recurse-submodules` flag (e.g., `git clone --recurse-submodules <repo_url>`) or initialize them separately after cloning the main repository using `git submodule update --init --recursive`.
