Undefined reference to SPIClass::Write32(unsigned long)

[Krki012]

Hi. I'm unable to resolve the issue with TFT_eSPI where library says something about SPIClass being an undefined reference. Here's the output to console in Arduino IDE:

The code causing the issue is a demo example (any from the library but I need the TFT_graphics_one_lib from 480x320 folder)

My user_setup.h is as follows:

// The XPT2046 requires a lower SPI clock rate of 2.5MHz so we define that here:
#define SPI_TOUCH_FREQUENCY  2500000

// The ESP32 has 2 free SPI ports i.e. VSPI and HSPI, the VSPI is the default.
// If the VSPI port is in use and pins are not accessible (e.g. TTGO T-Beam)
// then uncomment the following line:
#define USE_HSPI_PORT

My biggest problem are these lines:

Multiple libraries were found for "SPI.h"

Versions are 2.5.43 for library, 3.0.7 for board list (espresiff) and 2.3.4 for Arduino IDE

If it helps, I'm using ESP32S3-based Elecrow SPI display with ILI9488 driver: https://www.elecrow.com/wiki/esp-terminal-with-35inch-spi-capacitive-touch-display.html

I chose the ESP32S3 Dev Module in board manager (tried several others as well)

I found out that disabling the HSPI port reduces the number of errors but they still exist and it's still te undefined reference to SPIClass one
