Include File problem

[lerameur]

Hello,

I newly installed MPLAB with picbasic pro.
I am getting this error:
Executing: "C:\PBP\PBPMPLAB.BAT" -p18F4550 -ampasmwin -k- "both.bas"
Executing: "C:\PBP\PBPW.EXE" -p18F4550 -ampasmwin -k- "both.bas"
Error[105] C:\PBP\18F4550.INC 19 : Cannot open file (Include File "P18F4550.INC" not found)

But there are no P18F4550.INC, or no P<file< for the 18 categories in the PBP folder. Anybody has an explanation or solutions when I try to compile?

HI,
BTW, I just installed windows and this is a fresh installation. I can compile with P16 chips, but when I choose any P18 chips I get many errors:

This means it doesn't know where your mpasm files are:


Error[105] C:\PBP\18F4550.INC 19 : Cannot open file (Include File "P18F4550.INC" not found)
They should be in here: C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite\P18F4550.INC

Which pretty much causes all the other problems.

[lerameur]

I have that file in the path you showed me and still gives me this error..

To confirm, your mpasm is installed in the directory? For some reason pbp does not see it. Perhaps you need to reinstall mplab ide. When you run mpasm by itself, can you run it from the directory I showed you?

If you look in the pbpmplab.bat file, it shows you where it is going to look. You can even modify it, but you shouldn't need to. What operating system are you using 64 bit, or 32 bit?

Here's where it is going to look:


@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

:: This file is intended to be run from MPLAB for compilation
:: using the PICBASIC PRO Compiler. PBPMPLAB.BAT should be
:: located in the PBP install folder (default C:\PBP).

:: Set for default location on 32-bit systems
SET MPASMWIN_PATH=C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite

:: If that doesn't work, set for default location on 64-bit systems
IF NOT EXIST "!MPASMWIN_PATH!\MPASMWIN.EXE" (
SET MPASMWIN_PATH=C:\Program Files ^(x86^)\Microchip\MPASM Suite
)

::*************** User modifications here ***************************


:: In order for PBP to launch the MPASMWIN Assembler, the
:: location of MPASMWIN.EXE will be appended to the existing
:: PATH environment variable. If MPASMWIN is not located in
:: one of the default folders above, uncomment and change the
:: following line to reflect the true location:

rem SET MPASMWIN_PATH=C:\Program Files ^(x86^)\Microchip\MPASM Suite

I originally installed version 8.63, uninstalled it and installed version 8.60. still with same problem. here is my PBPMPLAB.BAT file.. same as yours:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

:: This file is intended to be run from MPLAB for compilation
:: using the PICBASIC PRO Compiler. PBPMPLAB.BAT should be
:: located in the PBP install folder (default C:\PBP).

:: Set for default location on 32-bit systems
SET MPASMWIN_PATH=C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite

:: If that doesn't work, set for default location on 64-bit systems
IF NOT EXIST "!MPASMWIN_PATH!\MPASMWIN.EXE" (
SET MPASMWIN_PATH=C:\Program Files ^(x86^)\Microchip\MPASM Suite
)

::*************** User modifications here ***************************


:: In order for PBP to launch the MPASMWIN Assembler, the

::************************************************ *******************


:: Code below this point should not need to be modified.


IF NOT EXIST "!MPASMWIN_PATH!\MPASMWIN.EXE" (
echo MPASMWIN.EXE could not be found at:
echo !MPASMWIN_PATH!
echo In order for PBP to function from MPLAB, the path to
echo MPASMWIN.EXE must be corrected by editing the file:
echo %0
goto end
)

:: Append MPASM folder to existing PATH

set PATH=%PATH%;!MPASMWIN_PATH!

:: Set CURPATH to the location of this batch file.

set CURPATH=%~dp0

:: If -n parameter is present, run PBPL.EXE. If not, run PBPW.EXE.

if %1 == -n (
echo Executing: "%CURPATH:~0,-1%\PBPL.EXE" %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
"%CURPATH:~0,-1%\PBPL.EXE" %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
) else (

"%CURPATH:~0,-1%\PBPW.EXE" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
)

I am at a loss.....

Have you tried using Micro Code Studio? Might be interesting to see if it can find your Pchip.INC files.

[lerameur]

I upgraded to 8.63, re-installed picbasic pro (removing its directory before) upgraded to 2.60C, still the same problem.

[lerameur]

Micro Code Studio error: 105:Cannot open file (Include File 'P18F4550.INC' not found)...

[ScaleRobotics]

They seem to both be in agreement .....

Are you SURE your mpasm suite directory is here and looks like this, with a P18F4550.INC file in it???

I just formatted my drive re-installed windows 7 , picbasic pro and MPlab 8.63, still having the same error. yes I do have the P18F4550 in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPASM Suite

my P18file:

Very strange. You could try comparing the installation instructions for windows 7 to what you have done, and see if there are any differences. Beyond that, you may need superior help.

Well I formatted my drive again and installed windows7. This time I started to install MPLAb first 8.6, then installed Picbasic pro. NOw its working. very strange indeed ! i will try to upgrade to 8.63 see what happens

[lerameur]

Ok , i upgraded to 8.63 and its working fine now. I was installing picbasic pro before MPLAB, maybe that was causing the problem.. who knows..
