Repo Clone build fails

[uchobby]

Awesome project, thank you for sharing. I have a similar project underway and would very much like to study your code. Unfortunately you have not described the steps necessary to compile you project into a usable firmware to load into an ESP module.

Doing a fresh clone of the repo, opening the WifiPixels_MQTT_NeoPixel example with the Arduino IDE and building fails with a large number of errors.

First attempt to fix was to copy file from src to the directory of the arduino project, build again fails with
C:\Users\DAVIDF1\AppData\Local\Temp\build3103318990395357584.tmp\mqtt_helper.cpp:12:32: error: no matching function for call to 'PubSubClient::PubSubClient(WiFiClient&)'
PubSubClient mqttClient(wclient);
