	Hi Tim, I am using the Adafruit Huzzah Feather (ESP8266) with their 3.5 TFT. which uses the HX8357 library. Everything was fine until I needed a couple more GPIO pins and switched to the Huzzah32 (ESP32). First time I tried to compile, I got a litany of errors beginning with: Quote: "...Adafruit_HX8357.cpp:112:25: error: '_spi' was not declared in this scope #define SPI_OBJECT _spi ///< Default SPI hardware peripheral" Since the ESP32 is acknowledged as being in live beta, I thought I might be able to find the, likely small bug in the code. Instead, I found that line of code to be a complete dead end as it was within this code block: Code (C++) #ifndef ESP32 #define SPI_OBJECT SPI ///< Default SPI hardware peripheral #else #define SPI_OBJECT _spi ///< Default SPI hardware peripheral #endif Definitely _spi wasn't being defined from there or the SPI library. I started thinking maybe there was a conflict between the ESP8266 SPI library and the ESP32 SPI lib, but that also didn't lead anywhere. Finally I looked back to that code block (the source of the problem) and was about to post an issue on GitHub, but just before doing so, I wanted to check version numbers. Yep both = 1.0.7 check! Since I was there, I decided to just read through the code on Github, and low and behold I found it. the whole #ifndef block didn't exist. In its place was the simple definition: Code (C++) #define SPI_OBJECT SPI So I went back to the library manager and uninstalled the library, checked that is was removed and reinstalled it. Same #ifndef block reappeared. So I just copied in the gitHub downloaded file in over the installed library files, reloaded the IDE, and was back in business. My sketch complied and loaded as one would expect. I have no idea how the library manager works, but I thought you might want to know about this. Unless I've done something wrong, I don't necessarily need anything. As always, I appreciate all of your support.

	Hi, The library paths are provided in the arduino library json that Visual Micro downloads and uses to draw the library manager. When you hover over links in the library manager it shows the paths that will be used to get and store the library. The libray manager allows you to click the lib name to install the latest or you can expand the library node to see all the versions. When you hover a version that should also show you the paths. So are the paths correct?

	Yes, in fact I check that when I reinstalled it.

	I suspect I know what is happening. If you expand the library in library manager and click on the specific version you want I expect that would install correctly The library index has the version listed with 1.02 last, 1.0.1,003,004,005,006,1.0.7, 1.0.2. I expect visual micro is getting confused about which is the latest version when downloading but not on screen. Will fix for the next release.
