ESP32-CAM and HX8357D Driver - No go?

[perigalacticon]

1. Connect ESP32-CAM to the Adafruit 3.5" TFT display with HXD8357D using ESP32-CAM std SPI pins. Try using the provided user setup for HXD8357D (Setup15_HX8357D.h). However, in this setup, the SPI pins are not defined. I tried adding in the definitions for MOSI - 13, MISO - 12, SCK - 14. I copied the file to User_Setup.h in the library folder. No matter what I try to display in the sketch including several library examples, nothing is displayed except a white screen, there are no errors and I confirmed that the sketch loop is running. I have used Adafruit GFX libraries to test the display it and they run fine, using the same pins as when trying to use the TFT_eSPI library.

2. Arduino version: v1.1.19

3. TFT_eSPI library version: 2.5.43 (latest).

4. Board package version: various, v3.0.5 (latest) has many compilation errors, see attached file, v2.0.0 has none.

5. Proccesor: AI Thinker ESP32-CAM.

6. TFT driver: HXD8357D - https://www.adafruit.com/product/2050

7. Interface type: SPI.

Plus further information as appropriate to the problem:

1. TFT to processor connections: MISO - 12, MOSI - 13, SCK - 14, CS - 15, D/C - 2, RST - n/c, Lite - n/c. Tried 3.3v and 5v power.
2. A zip file containing your setup file (just drag and drop in message window - do not paste in long files!)
3. A zip file containing a simple and complete example sketch: Can use any TFT_eSPI provided example sketch.
4. Screen shot pictures: nothing is shown, just a white screen on the LCD display always.

The latest library and boards manager does not want to compile for the ESP32-CAM. For a ILI9341 tft display I also got compilation errors with the current esp32 boards version, but no errors if running previous esp32 boards version 2.0.0. I want to use this display to display the output of the OV2640 camera on Halloween!
