PIcbasic pro patch 2.5B, still no longs..

[Chris Barron]

I've applied patch 2.5b, but still don't have the long variable, is there something else which I should do ?

Hi Chris,

If you're using the MCS editor, click on View, then Compiler And Program Options, then
click the Compiler tab, and place a tick next to Use PBPL.

This will instruct the editor IDE to use PBPL.EXE, which is required for any long type
variables. Of course, you'll also need to select an 18F series controller in the PIC selection
drop-down menu since longs are only supported for 18F core types with PBP.

I'm able to compile picbasic pro code containing longs without errors in MPLAB.

How about choosing it ???

Really easy, don't you think ?

You've lost me. 'Choosing it' ?

YES ...

In the MPLAB available compilers list ... simply where it should be !!!

NOT to have to change location at each time you swap from PBPW to PBPL ...
