Hi everyone, Firstly let me announce myself to be a newby to PBP and PIC in general. I am an engineering student and have some experience in Assembly and ANSI C with 8051 micros.
I have just set up an environment to do PIC development. After much research I decided on the MPLAB IDE (v7.20) with the PBP compiler (v2.46). I have an ICD 2 on the way for burning. I have installed the PBP compiler into MPLAB as per the instructions.
Problem is that I can compile simple programs (like blink.bas) for the 16F877, but when I select an 18F device (my chosen device is the 18F4525) I get the following error:
Executing: "C:\PBP\pro246\PBPW.EXE" -ampasmwin -oq -z
-p18F4525 "blink.bas"

I contacted MELABs who said that some files seem to be missing from the PBP directory and to check that I have only one PBP directory. I do, in fact, have only one PBP directory and it has the 18F4525.inc and the 18F4525.bas files. I installed all the files from the .zip installer so I don't see how any files can be missing.
The MELABs website also says to ensure that I have the mpasmwin assembler. I do: the problem occurs before the assember is invoked.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this problem? What files are needed to compile for 18F devices that aren't needed for 16F devices.
Any help is appreciated. John
