I've run into a situation where I need to disable case sensitivity in mpasm. I'm using cdlite and can't figure out how to disable case sensitivity when I compile. (I'm not interested into moving to a different IDE at this point)
Below is the command line option I have:
-ampasmwin -oq
How can I disable case sensitivity of mpasm, via cdlite?
I think it is something you do in MPASM, not CDLite.
You may want to take a look at the command lines of MPASM by which you can disable the case sensitivity.
I attached a picture; is it what you need? I am not sure.

Or you change CDLite to MicroCode Studio. In this one, you can do it inside the IDe using the menu
I've tried all kinds of different combinations and I can't get it to work.
The root cause is I'm using mpasm and ASM commands in my code. CDLite changes ASM to Asm, this makes mpasm throw and error.
I can't switch to microcode because I'm using a 16f876A and I don't have the cash flow right now to purchase plus.
Have you tried this command line?
-ampasmwin -oq -c
.
Indeed I did.
I also tried
-ampasmwin -oq -oc
-ampasmwin -oq /c-
and moved things around quite a bit.

Interesting, I couldn't get the command line to work either. Even though it says how to do it in the help file.
Well, here's a couple alternatives.
In the same folder as mpasmwin.exe, open the MPLAB.INI file and modify or add this line.
CaseSensitive=OFF
-- or --
Start the MPASMWIN program directly by clicking on it in windows explorer, or type MPASMWIN from a DOS window.
Unselect the "case sensitive" checkbox then click "Exit".
Then try to compile again.
HTH,
Sorry, I guess that doesn't work either. Doh!
I've found that the /c- option does work when you provide it directly to MPASMWIN.EXE. But it doesn't seem to be passed on by PBPW.
You might be able to create a batch file to do the compiling. Or use MPLAB instead of CDlite. But you'll need to install the PicBasic Interface to MPLAB. It's on the meLabs website as I recall, been awhile since I did that.

You and I are thinking the same way. In the end there should be no reason why this shouldn't work.
I can try MPLAB.
I really think someone needs to work on a free or opensource IDE for PicBasic, or one should be included. Microcode is great but $75 is steep, considering PBP is $250 on its own. Needless to say this becomes and expensive hobby when you add things together. All this to blink an LED. ;)
Does $49.95 sound any better?

MPLAB is as cheap as it gets. Free. It takes a little getting used to. But it does the job. Just no code highlighting.
The simulator can be handy too. No PIC required.

Doh, I meant $50 not $70.

MicroCode Studio (the non PLUS version)
(a) Supports compilation of the 16F876A
(b) Is free for non commercial use

I was having a "stupid moment," when I tried the free version I was hitting the ICD compile which requires upgrade.
If you actually hit the right button it works w/o upgrade. Long story short, I'm up and running!
Thanks!
