PC simulator project for LittlevGL embedded GUI Library for Windows in Codeblocks

This requires the MinGW version of CodeBlocks 20.03 or newer to be installed.

How to use this:

Tutorial for Windows

  1. Download and install Git
  2. Download CodeBlocks in latest version. It is strongly recommended to use the version which includes MinGW, as otherwise you will have to install and configure it separately, and there have been issues reported with missing header files when a standalone MinGW installation is used.
  3. Clone this repository.
  • Open Command prompt (Win key + R -> cmd -> Enter) or PowerShell (Win key + R -> powershell -> Enter) (if you want different folder than C:/Users/username you have to navigate to it) and type: git clone https://github.com/lvgl/lv_sim_codeblocks_win.git
  • In that folder type: cd lv_sim_codeblocks_win and press Enter. Here type: git submodule update --init --recursive and press Enter. This should download files to lvgl, lv_examples and lv_drivers folders.
  1. Open CodeBlocks and select Open an existing project. Navigate to the lv_sim_codeblocks_win folder and select LittlevGL.cbp.
  2. Click on Build and Run or press F9.
  3. If everything goes well, you should see your simulator running.
