It is possible, yes.
Though it require changes in the project structure, as shown here.

Why did you prefer PlatformIO over Make?

from esp32-cam-ai-thinker.

I have worked with PlatformIO before hence the preference. Will attempt to run it on PlatformIO and revert.

Attempts to run it on PIO brings about the following error.
