Pic16f88 compiling. . not working

[fratello]

It's in your first row something like this :
@ DEVICE pic16F88, XT_OSC, WDT_OFF, PWRT_OFF, BOD_OFF, MCLR_ON ?

here is the code:
'LCD testing program

@ DEVICE pic16F88, INTRC_OSC, WDT_OFF, PWRT_OFF, BOD_OFF, MCLR_ON
OSCCON = %01110000 '8 Mhz
DEFINE OSC 8

and here is the error message:

ken
but it does compile if I remove this line:
@ DEVICE pic16F88, INTRC_OSC, WDT_OFF, PWRT_OFF, BOD_OFF, MCLR_ON

but nothing happens on the LCD

My MPlab is configures as following when I go into the language tools option.. in the executable:

C:\PBP\PBPMPLAB.BAT

[fratello]

Do you have this setting ?

[lerameur]

I dont have microcode studio, just MPLab and a plain text editor..

[mackrackit]

Micro Code Studio ships with PBP. It is on your install CD.

Here is the configuration I have:

Did you notice that it selected the assembler from your recycle bin?

Also, it has been several years since I worked with the 16f88, but iirc it has at least one of the peripherals enabled by default. You must go through each and every pin used with the lcd and make sure it is configured to be a regular i/o pin, and not configured as a peripheral pin.
