first time use in 2 years.

Hi all, from sunny Australia.
I am attempting to resurrect my use of PBP 2.60 for the first time in a couple of years.
I have loaded a program that worked perfectly when I last looked at it.
It may have been written in PBP 2.47, so I am wondering if there have been any differences in the @ device config section.
The 8 or so lines starting with @ DEVICE pic16F877 then some config stuff
@ DEVICE pic16F877 then some config stuff
@ DEVICE pic16F877 then some config stuff

I haven't noted what the config stuff was, because, as I said it compiled perfectly previously. But now the compiler shows up errors for each of the @ DEVICE lines, so I am assuming that there are some differences between 2.47 and 2.60.
And, yes I have hunted around but cannot find any references to any changes.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
No change in that regard as far as I know.

I'm a bit rusty on the older version but I believe the CONFIGs are specified differently depending on which assembler you choose (PM or MPASM). I think the syntax you have is for PM so if you have MPASM selected as your assembler that might be where the problem is.

Also, if you have CONFIG or DEVICE directives in your source code file you have to comment the default ones out of the .inc file for the specific target, otherwise you'll get the Overwriting Previous Adress (or something like that) error.

Without more details on the actual error message that would be my best guess.

/Henrik.

Yeah, that looks like the problem
I turned off the "use MPASM" in the view menu, assembler section and then the program compiles just like it used to.
Can't be sure how the MPASM got selected but all fine now. So I assume it switched over to PM assembler.
Thanks for the heads up.
