MPLAB gives an Build failed message
but there is 0 errors 0 warnings and an hex file is generated.
What's wrong ?

Did you install the CCS C MPLAB plugin?
The MPLAB build options for CCS C may be incorrect.

If I start from a project that build successfully.
If I save the source file with a new name, remove the source file from the project, add the new named file in the project as the source and compile it, I have the problem.

Nothing else changed except the name of the source file.

I just did that and it works fine. I saved "PCH_Test.c" as "PCH_Test2.c"
and removed the first one from the MPLAB project. Then I added the
new file to the project and compiled it. It worked OK.

I've seen your problem before. I think I solved it by re-installing the
compiler.

If I copy a folder containing a known good program to drive c:
If I make it using F10, the program compiles sucessfully.
Then if I clean the program using Project Clean, the compiler complains that source.o is missing. There was no source.o before using Clean!
Then if I make it using F10, now I got build failed, but hex file is generated and no errors are reported.

I can repeat this on my laptop and on my desktop.

So Clean doesn't seem to be too clean!

What is the version number of your MPLAB?

jmer · Guest

I use Version 8.10
But this was a problem in earlier version 8.0 and even before that

I reinstalled mplab plug-in, then reinstalled the compiler and it solved the problem. (not the other way around,)
