error: 'for' loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode

Hi, I'm trying to start with lvgl. Following the README steps for Windows, at the execution in PlatformIO the output is the error

.pio\libdeps\emulator_64bits\lvgl\src\core\lv_obj.c: In function 'lv_obj_event':
.pio\libdeps\emulator_64bits\lvgl\src\core\lv_obj.c:734: error: 'for' loop initial declaration used outside C99 mode

Do I have to change some setting of PlatformIO? Thanks

No ideas. At least, CI pass https://github.com/lvgl/lv_platformio/actions/workflows/ci.yml

May be you have old compiler in your win? What env do you use?

In VScode terminal at command g++ --version the output is

g++ --version
g++.exe (GCC) 4.2.1-sjlj (mingw32-2)

even if MSYS2 is updated. I'm trying to fix it.

Try to reproduce steps from CI config:

Probably, missed to sync something in readme. I have no windows to experiment with.
