USBMOUSE example won't compile from command line, Microcode Studio works

[eDub]

I'm having this problem with my own program but anyone can see it with the USBMOUSE demo that comes with a PBP purchase v2.46. Them problem is that it won't compile from the command line, but it will compile with Microcode Studio. It might seem trivial to some, but getting this working is imperative for the product I'm trying to produce and I'm a one man op. So I will greatly appreciate any help that is offered.

(Just to get it out of the way, I've already shortened my file paths and names and reinstalled PBP.)

To reproduce this problem, copy the contents of C:\PBP\USB18 into a new folder (“C:\test”). Compile USBMOUSE.BAS with Microcode Studio and everything should work fine. Then use the following batch file contents to compile it from the command line:

cd C:\PBP
PBPW -ampasmwin -v -p18F2455 "C:\test\USBMOUSE.BAS"
pause

My results are:

C:\PBP>PBPW -ampasmwin -v -p18F2455 "C:\test\USBMOUSE.BAS"

ERROR: Macro USBINIT? not found in macro file.

ERROR: Macro USBOUT?CBCL not found in macro file.

These four macros are mentioned in the C:\PBP\USB18\USB.txt file but the significance eludes me. BTW, USB.txt contains some useful information on this subject, but I've yet to find my answer there.

You can get a similar message inside Microcode studio if you try to compile the program for a 16 series pic instead of an 18 series (18F2455). It should also be noted that USBJADEM demo exibits the same behavior.

Thanks for reading, I hope someone can solve this.

It's failing on the macro pass.

Drop a copy of PBPUSB18.MAC into your C:\PBP\USB18 directory.

From the DOS prompt change dir to C:\PBP\USB18

Enter: pbpw -v -ampasmwin -p18f2455 USBMOUSE at the DOS prompt. That should take care of it for now, but you might still want to drop MeLabs tech support an email.

Thanks Bruce, but that's not it. I did just as you said (actually I had already done that, but I tried it all again to be sure) and still got the same result.

Technically my cmd line is like:
C:\PBP>pbpw -v -ampasmwin -p18F2455 C:\PBP\USB18\USBMOUSE

but I think using the path is an insignificant difference.

I did notice something that was not in my original post. When I complie USBMOUSE.BAS with Microcode Studio it creates a USBMOUSE.MAC file and seems to copy the needed macros from PBPUSB18.MAC into it. When I compile from the command line this does not happen. Maybe because it doesn't get to that step before the failure or maybe because that step is the failure. Any insights on this?

And I should add that I have gotten the patch for v2.46 from Melabs and reinstalled fresh and all that.

Thanks again
