PCWH compiler issue

[edbfmi1]

We are using:
MPLAB X IDE v6.20
With a newly installed PCWH compiler
on a PIC16F1938 micro.

When I run the compiler I get the following list of errors.
Can anyone help with this?

I don't use any of that but.....

X:\BeadMaster\24L16.c:54:16: Error#12 Undefined identifier -- output_float:

All errors are with the '24l16.c' file, that think is really a 'driver' and NOT a real 'main()' program.

Posting the first few lines of your real program would help !

just re-re-read the post...
X:\BeadMaster\BMlcd420.c:62:10: Error#128 A #DEVICE required before this line:

this line
X:\BeadMaster\BM44329.c:467:10: Error#7 Invalid Pre-Processor directive Invalid option:

maybe BM44329.c IS the main program ??
Really,really need to see 1st 20-30 lines of your program.

BMlcd420.c might be an LCD driver ??

[Ttelmah]

It looks as if you are trying to compile 24L16.c, then BMlcd420.c
The contents of the files are wrong. You are getting syntax errors on what
you are trying to compile. The main one is that you don't seem to be
loading the include file for the processor involved, so the compiler does
not know the pin name defines, or how things are defined. Even odder,
you seem to be trying to compile two files at once. You don't. You should
only have one main file for the project, and this should include any other
files like drivers.

[edbfmi1]

Here are the first few lines of code. Thanks for the help!

[Ttelmah]

OK. So what you have done is put all the files into the project tab
'Source files'.

DONT.

_Only_ the primary file goes here. The rest must be in the 'header files'
tab.

Everything in the 'source files' tab, is compiled separately. Won't work.
Only the main program file should be here.

[edbfmi1]

Thanks for the reply Ttelmah,
We removed the 2 files from the Projects tab "Header Files" and it cleaned up a lot of the errors but now we are getting this when we compile it.

Hi again, I just re-read your post Ttelmah,
We did have the 24L16.c and BMlcd420.c in the project "Header Files".
The only file we have in the "Source Files" is BM44329.c
So I am still confused as to why I am getting the compiler errors.

Thanks for the help.

[temtronic]

curious.....

this line..

#include <24L16.c>

shouldn't it be after (below ) the
#use I2C(master, SDA=PIN_A5, SCL=PIN_A4, fast=100000)

? assuming the 24L16 is an I2C device and #use I2C is for it ??

The typical order for a CCS program would be:

[Ttelmah]

Remove the files from the header file section. I've seen problems from
other people before where MPLABX tries to incorrectly compile stuff from
here.
The fact that it is trying to export the compile for these files, says you have
MPLAB setup incorrectly somewhere. Go through the setup in the FAQ
page from CCS on this, and make sure your settings are as this shows.

[alan]

MPLAB X require that you right click the file in the header and click on "exclude from file(s) from current configuration" otherwise it includes it automatically

[Ttelmah]

Good.
Thanks for that.
I knew I had seen people having issues if they were there before. I don't
have to do that, but I'm running on a Mac, so it is always just a little
different....
