pbp245 compliation error

[Woodzy]

Arch,

Thanks for your help mate,
The .bas file listed WAS actually the known good code compile test.

I have been compiling with PBPW 245 for months now.
Nothing has at all changed, except I have a new laptop.
E: drive is an external USB HDD I keep all my data on.

I have also tried to recompile other known good codes, yet I STILL get the exact same errors.

PBPW232 works great, except there's no facility for 876"A" etc.

SO far I am beat.......

Here is sample code so basic, we only need a LABEL to generate the error.

code:

'e:\plc\pbp245\PBPW.exe -p16f876A e:\2005\FZ4\fz4ee0.bas
'----------------------------------------------------------
'FILENAME : FZ4ee0.BAS
'----------------------------------------------------------
'PARAMETER INITIALISATION ROUTINE
'----------------------------------------------------------
SETUP:
' clear
' DEFINE OSC 4 'set to 4MHz oscill
' INCLUDE "modedefs.bas"
'----------------------------------------------------------

error:

I hope someone may have a flash of ingenuity here and see the error?

Hi Woodzy,

What happens if you use this command...

> cd E:\plc\pbp245
> PBPW.exe -p16f876A e:\2005\FZ4\fz4ee0.bas -v -ie:\2005\FZ4
<br>

[Woodzy]

Darrel,

No. Also had to strip the "e:\2005\FZ4" from the nd of the command as it gave THIS error......
WARNING: Only one filename allowed on the command line.
ERROR: Unable to open file E:\2005\FZ4.BAS

so without it...

> cd E:\plc\pbp245
> PBPW.exe -p16f876A e:\2005\FZ4\fz4ee0.bas -v -i

E:\plc\pbp245>PBPW.exe -p16f876A e:\2005\FZ4\fz4ee0.bas -v -i

So, the error is STILL [235]

NUP PBP232 is good, PBP245 will NOT behave

I did find in the picbasic forum, a thread that said to mod the
compatibility properties to suit win98/Me, I did that and it fixed the compilation error.

NOW the problem I have is, that the same program that will fit into
the 877 when compiled by pbp232, wont fit if compiled by pbp245.

I assume pbp245 has a few more includes that bloat the compiled file?

any clues???

cheers

I'll bet the core library has been updated between versions 2.32 and 2.45.

This probably comes with a larger compiled program size depending on the
library commands used in your code.
