Mystery Compile Error

I'm running Windows XP SP3 and PBP 2.6 with MCS 3.0.0.5

The code is this:

DEFINE OSC 20

FLASH_RATE VAR BYTE
LED_0 VAR PORTB.0

FLASH_ON = 1500
FLASH_OFF = 500

lblLoop:
High LED_0
Pause FLASH_ON
Low LED_0
Pause FLASH_OFF

GoTo lblLoop

End

Again, this worked on my old PC with a previous version of PBP.

Also, if I try to compile one of the sample files from c:\pbp\samples (e.g. adcin3x) I get tons of these errors:

Error c:\pbp\pbppic14.lib 272 : [225] Undefined Symbol 'PORTE'

[mackrackit]

That is starting to sound like the wrong PIC is selected???

[RossWaddell]

I thought so too, but I'm doing a compile only - not programming the chip. I tried selecting the PIC that I wrote that code for (12f629) but it still showed the same error.

Now I am confused. What PIC and what code?

I tried selecting the PIC that I wrote that code for (12f629) but it still showed the same error.

The 12F629 does not have a PORTB or E if you are referring to the code in post #4.

Use GPI0.x

Sorry, it was other code for the 12f629 I was thinking of - this code was written for my test PIC, 16f84a.

Also, if I try to compile one of the sample files from c:\pbp\samples (e.g. adcin3x) I get tons of these errors:

Error c:\pbp\pbppic14.lib 272 : [225] Undefined Symbol 'PORTE'

The 16F84A does not have an E port.

You may want to post the whole code and the configs and maybe a screen shot of how the code editor is set.

You have to compile for the correct PIC and re-do the code to match.

[RossWaddell]

I installed PBP 2.60 & MCS 3.0.0.5 on my laptop and this code works (selecting 16f84a):

DEFINE OSC 20

FLASH_ON VAR BYTE
FLASH_OFF VAR BYTE
LED_0 VAR PORTB.0

FLASH_ON = 1500
FLASH_OFF = 500

lblLoop:
High LED_0
Pause FLASH_ON
Low LED_0
Pause FLASH_OFF

GoTo lblLoop

End

I tried bumping up the memory allocation for the Windows XP virtual machine that is reporting the out of memory error, but no luck.

What is the parent OS?

This may help

It's an iMac with Mac Snow Leopard OS (10.6.2). I'm using Parallels Desktop to create the Windows XP virtual machine.
