Install problem

[geoffw123]

Hi

I used the suggested git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/lvgl/lv_sim_visual_studio.git command to install this project on Windows 10.

I am assuming (maybe wrongly) that this should download all the source code needed for this project ?
I have got some code downloaded but for example folders D:\lv_sim_visual_studio\LVGL.Simulator\lvgl, D:\lv_sim_visual_studio\LVGL.Simulator\lv_demos and others are present but totally empty ?

Any help on fixing this please ? Thanks

I have do that in my test environment. It seems OK.

So I think you may meet the network connection issue when you clone the repo. So may be you need to reclone again.

hiya thanks for the speedy reply. I have done it 3 times, same empty folders every time.

Instead of doing it via command line, I also just downloaded the zip file and those same folders are empty in that too. Maybe I am misunderstanding something here

What is the output from Git on the terminal?

when I tried it this morning the git console command finished very quickly. However it gave no error messages at all (Tried this 3 times, same every time)
Just tried it again this afternoon, it took 3 times longer and downloaded much more stuff, the folders now have content in them.
Have you changed anything your end ? Otherwise must have been a glitch with github.
Thanks for your help

We didn't change anything, so it was probably some type of networking issue. The behavior with Git not printing anything is also quite strange; I'm not sure what caused that.

Glad you were able to download it now. 🙂

As a matter of fact, I am now experiencing a lot of issues with GitHub. My comment edit is not going through and I cannot push anything to the lvgl repository. It looks like there are major performance issues across all their offerings.

Yeah must have been a Github problem. I have got it building and running now, neat demo App. :)
Why is the archive config set for ARM on a Windows Simulator ? That threw me for a little while til I noticed it and changed it to x86.
