compiling problem

[poorly]

dear friends

If I use MPLAB IDE ver:6.61 for the code below (LCD.C included ), I get an error.

but compiling with the MPLAB ver: 5.70 , no error & problem.
Everything goes fine...

What should I do to use MPLAB IDE ver:6.61 with no error !

thanks interested guys a lot for proper reply.

poorly

Here are a few lines of the code. and the include file. (LCD.C)

#include <16f877.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <F877.h>

#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT, NOBROWNOUT, NOLVP, PUT
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#include "lcd.c"

main()
{
int value_o=0;

lcd_init();
for(;;){
delay_ms(500);
printf(lcd_putc, "\fValue:%d" ,value_o);
delay_ms(500);
value_o+=1;
}

}

My guess is that the compiler is not set up properly. Did you install the plug in (it might be included in the later MPLAB). There are 2 choices for the compiler. Choose the one that lists the devices.

dear Mark

I found only one plug-in file on the CCS site.
What is the other one that you mentioned ?
I use the plug in for MPLAB 6 installation.

thanks a lot

There is only 1 plug in. However, when you choose the tool suite there are 2 CCS options.

Someone asked what error. It is kind of hard to tell you what the problem might be without you telling us the error!

MArk

thank you for your kind reply
