Just a short report about the situation.

MPLAB 8.92 and PBP 3.1 (and PBP 3.0) were already installed on my PC. I have also installed MPLAB X 4.05.

Finally, keeping PBP 3.0 was not necessary. I can work with MPLAB 8 + PBP 3.1 + MPASMWIN.

I did not succeed in making this chain work with MPASMX. I got the message "Unable to find mpasmwin" when I launched the compilation. I could not find a way to make MPLAB work with MPASMX.

Anyway, in my case it is not important. I stay with my old chain for my old projects. My first objective is reached.



I am now trying to make the MPLAB X configuration work for my new project. I tryied to follow the recommandations from the posts but many things have changed with the versions. For 4.05 one must tick the PBP chain in the Tools > Plugins > Available Plugins, validate the choice and Add the PBP chain in Tools > Options > Embedded. The chain is automatically added when pushing thh Add... button.

Then I tryied to import a PBP project developped under MPLAB 8 and named PGMTST. The process is described there : http://www.microchip.com/forums/m1015105.aspx.

When selecting the compiler this message appears :
<html><div style="color: blue">"Unsupported project conversion: original compiler was PICBASIC PRO™. <br> Build options will not be converted.</div></html>

I found my PBP source file in the folder "Source File". I also have 4 asm files containing some data. They are now in the "Other Files" Folder. OK.

Going ahead generates error messages saying that the PGMTST project is empty even if all the files are there...

I am there, trying to find my way !
Should you have any good ideas, I am very interested.

I keep you informed
