need help compiling c into hex file!!!

[tom5467]

i am really a beginner at programming a mcu. i have already wrote the c code to program my PIC16F877A microcontroller, but i can't figure out how to convert this c code to its hex counterpart.

i have downloaded a demo version of the ccs c compiler which needed an internet connection to operate. i compiles the program and it stated no error.

now what is the next step. Please help me!!!!!

Look in the project directory and you will find the hex file if it did indeed compile without errors.

the ccs c compiler did reply that it had no errors, but i doubt that it had none. see my project is to create a fire protection system which consists of a main and remote unit, both with PIC16F877A. The main unit has four analog inputs to sense presence of fire hazard and three led outputs for warning purposes. one o/p activates a solenoid while still another o/p is sent to other PIC.

this is what the code looks like for the main unit_:

thankx for being patient enough for reading this!!! please let me know it u see any errors.[/code]
