Mystery Compile Error

[RossWaddell]

I just received the PIC BASIC Pro upgrade (v2.60) and set it up on my new PC. When I try to compile a program that used to work just fine with my older PICBASIC Pro version, I get this error:

fatal: out of memory (pbpw.exe)

I'm using MicroCode Studio (v2.0.0.5) which came with the CD containing the PIC BASIC Pro installer.

Anyone know what's wrong here? Other programs do compile just fine (i.e. blink.bas)

The only time I have seen

fatal: out of memory (pbpw.exe)

is when I try running MCS on Linux with WINE.

What is your OS?
And posting your code might help too.

I'm running Windows XP SP3 and PBP 2.6 with MCS 3.0.0.5

The code is this:

DEFINE OSC 20

FLASH_RATE VAR BYTE
LED_0 VAR PORTB.0

FLASH_ON = 1500
FLASH_OFF = 500

lblLoop:
High LED_0
Pause FLASH_ON
Low LED_0
Pause FLASH_OFF

GoTo lblLoop

End

Again, this worked on my old PC with a previous version of PBP.

Also, if I try to compile one of the sample files from c:\pbp\samples (e.g. adcin3x) I get tons of these errors:

Error c:\pbp\pbppic14.lib 272 : [225] Undefined Symbol 'PORTE'

That is starting to sound like the wrong PIC is selected???

The 16F84A does not have an E port.

You may want to post the whole code and the configs and maybe a screen shot of how the code editor is set.

You have to compile for the correct PIC and re-do the code to match.
