Error when compiling- New user lots of questions

[mister_e]

Joe, you're correct. 18Xxxxx need MPASM or i will never compile anyway.

Let's open any 18Xxxx.INC in PBP folder..

        NOLIST
    ifdef PM_USED
        LIST
        "Error: PM does not support this device.  Use MPASM."
        NOLIST
    else
        LIST
        LIST p = 18F452, r = dec, w = -311, w = -230, f = inhx32
        INCLUDE "P18F452.INC"   ; MPASM  Header
        ;__CONFIG    _CONFIG1H, _OSCS_OFF_1H & _XT_OSC_1H
        ;__CONFIG    _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_128_2H
        ;__CONFIG    _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L
        NOLIST
    endif

If you don't select MPASM, it will show you that message.

At very least, this is one reason why i don't use PM, always MPASM. Kinda annoying stuff to switch everytime between one and the other.

Hmmm,
I'm going to have to look and see if I can figure out which compiler was originally used. I know that I did have the MPASM checked and I did change the chip.

I haven't had a chance to go through all the posts and suggestions yet. Hopefully today.

So, as best I can tell. I have everything set up right, not that that means much. However, I still get the errors.

I've attached the code, pbc file-zipped.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Can you post your 18F6520.inc file here?

[Hylan]

I can post that. However, what's the best way to make sure I find and post the right file?

I ask because I have PicBasic, PicBasicPro and the free IDE from Microchip on my computer. So I got to thinking that there might be more than one version on my computer. Is there a way to tell where PicBasicPro is looking?

Thank you

OK, the file i'm talking about is located in the PBP folder. Just to make sure it's the right one, you could still rename it and try to compile... if this return an error, you got it.

[Hylan]

Alright, so needless to say with the different free IDE's I'd downloaded before I finally coughed up for the paid versions, I had several duplicate files on my computer. I found the one the computer was using and it is now attached. I looked at the file and saw the areas that it looks like the code is noting to change but wasn't sure how to change.

Okay, so I tried to make changes and deleted some lines and played around with others and then just got more errors. But I viewed that as a positive thing as I was able to at least evoke a change to the system. Going in the wrong direction, but sometimes any movement is good!

I appreciate everyone's patience and input.
