Mystery Compile Error

[mackrackit]

Thanks Dave! I will try that tonight. If I understand your batch file correctly, then:

- switch to the folder containing the . bas project file (I presume so the resulting .asm & .hex files will be created in the same place)

Yes, everything will be in the projects directory.

- compile .asm file with appropriate switches to tell it what PIC you're using and what .bas file to compile

- create .hex file

And tell the directory.

Where could I get more info on some of the command line switches you're using?

e.g. c:/pbp/pbpw -e -s -ac

and mpasmwin /e /l

The PBP manual has a section about using the command line. Actually PBP is a command line program. And for the MPASWIN stuff. Open MPLAB and under Help/Topics pick MPASAM Assembler.
Then in the index tab "Command Line Interface" sub set "Assembler".
