ERROR: Unable to access file D:\My Documents\PicBasicTrials\Blink\Blink_16F690\BLINK_ 16f690.COD
Error processing COD file D:\My Documents\PicBasicTrials\Blink\Blink_16F690\BLINK_ 16f690.COD
Halting build on first failure as requested.
BUILD FAILED: Sat Jul 25 16:14:42 2009

The project folder does not have a "blink_16f690.cod" file but has .asm, .mac, .err, .hex,.lst.

Path has the mpasmwin path, C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite\

Installed "upgrade" into default directories and the MPASM & mePicBasic Pro toolsuite locations seem OK.

Why is the .cod file missing?

Can you reduce the filename of BLINK_16f690 to 8 Characters or less eg BLINK001 and see what happens?

I've had problems with long filenames in the past (albeit I only compile from an XP DOS Box command line rather than from inside another program).

Technical Support

(01/26/2009) Microchip's MPLAB version 8.15a appears to be the last version that will support COD file functionality. This means that PBP will generate errors in MPLAB version 8.20 and later. The errors appear as:

ERROR: Unable to access file...
Error processing COD file...


We will be releasing a new version of PBP with COFF file compatibility in response to this surprise move by Microchip. In the meantime, MPLAB version 8.15a is available for download here:

They did not fix that with 2.6PBP ?

[BrianT]

Latest available PBP is ver 2.50c as far as I can tell.
