PCW 4.099 and MPLab 8.40 question

Hello,

I have the above setup, running under XP SP3. I can compile code in the CCS IDE, but the same code gives errors in MPLab. I have (I think) setup MPLab to use the CCS compiler correctly.

I don't understand why the results are different, surely the code that physically creates machine code from C code must be the same in both cases??

The PIC target is 18F6527 in both cases, the code in the .c and .h files is identical.

Thanks

1. What are the errors ?

2. What is the total number of files in the project ?

3. Are using the "one big file" method (no linker, with all modules
added to a main source file with #include) ?
Or, are you trying to use Multiple Compilation Units?

4. What is your compiler version?

Hi PCM,

Thanks for the response, I made the mistake of adding all my .c and .h files to the Sources in the project, and declaring them with #include "file.c"

This obviously caused problems, as the same file is declared twice. Things like IO declarations in the affected files showed up as errors. All is good now I have only the #include statements, and only the main .c file in the sources list.

Thanks,

Colin
