    Default Cannot get pbp to compile

    I have the following setup
    C\program files \microchip\MPASM Suite(MPLAB 8.20a)
    C\pbp
    C\MCS In this folder are the .pbp and .hex project files
    I have commented out the 5 config lines in the 18f4550.inc
    When compliling a basic program in MCS I get error message
    Error[105]c\pbp\18f4550.inc 19:cannot open file(include file P18F4550.inc not found). Plus several Error[113]

    Everthing was working until I started altering things, but cannot get it right now.

    Any help appreciated

    Talking Cannot get pbp to compile

    I've tried numerous times to get MPASM to work with 16f8xx series.
    Sill no luck.
    Haven't has the time to figure why...
    This is year three.
    I'm on the ninth generation of the system now.
    Had to do it the hard way.
    I write in PBP only.a
    Any insights would be rewarded with gratitude.
    Thanks !

    Hi

    Thanks for your help/suggestions. I just forgot to put in the : at C prompt! If only it were that simple!!

    Derrel, I have checked the link you gave me and I agree it cannot work using MPLAB 8.20.

    In the meantime I have been studying other links and managed to get the errors down to 2.

    My next step is to download 8.15a version of MPLAB and try again. I will let you know how I get on.

    Many thanks.

    There is a version of MPLAB on the CD when you purchased PBP. Why not use that.

    You can work with MPLAB 8.20 and latest 8.30 but it will have some serious limitations about the debugger MPSIM, not sure for PICKIT 2.

    For PIC18, you need to add the linker file. In your case 18F4550.lkr to your project.

    And then you go to, Project> Build Option > Project PicBasic Pro tab. There you select Use MPASM assembler and Use Linker /COFF debugging. Not much. BUT it will sucks, you can't monitor your variable, but only some PIC registers.

    Not a so easy task to create reliable COFF files.... even if the reference book for it is quite small

    Finally mpswitch seems to suffer a little bit with the latest release, so it's not a viable option yet (well last time I tried it)... If you only use PBP in MPLAB, there's no real advantage to use the latest 8.20 or 8.30 version.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    I don't think you can use MPLAB 8.20 with PBP.

    See the note on this page (1/26/2009) ...
