Problem using ESP8266 nodeMCU 1.0

[neckkola]

Describe the bug

When using the esp8266 nodemcu 1.0 board, with the esp core installed and 1.9.3 of WiFiWebServer, on compile the WifiWebServer reports "#error Unknown or unsupported board" and fails.

Using Arduino 2.0 rc 9.3.
Installed the esp core. The board is recognized and is selected correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

Sample sketch to reproduce with nodemcu 1.0 (ESP-12E) selected as board.

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiWebServer.h>
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Expected behavior

I am making the assumption as the documentation says that the ESP8266 is supported, it should work without modifications.

Actual behavior

The compile fails. I am able to make it work by modifying the WiFiWebServer.hpp to include the following at line 166:
#elif (ESP8266)
#define USE_WIFI_NINA false
// To use the default WiFi library here
#define USE_WIFI_CUSTOM true

Arduino IDE version: 2.0 rc9.3
ESP32 Core Version  3.0.2
OS: Windows 11 Home

Hi @neckkola

Thanks for reporting the problem. I just forgot about popular ESP32/ESP8266 recently and therefore the unintended error message.

Please change

WiFiWebServer/src/WiFiWebServer.hpp

Lines 167 to 171 in 1c28df1

	#else
	#error Unknown or unsupported board
	#endif

as follows

#elif !(ESP32 || ESP8266) 

  #error Unknown or unsupported board
  
#endif

I'll fix the issue very soon for next release.

Thank you so much and for a great product. Have a wonderful day.
