Please help; HUGE mplab problem

[brennerator]

I have no source files!

I took the FRC default code but I have no source files so I cannot build!! It only accepts .asm format, of which I have no files.

What do you mean you have no source files...
go to kevin.org/frc
and download a version of the code that suits your needs (probably camera_s_2.zip).
Unzip that to a low leve directory (c:\code\) and then in mplab open project
and select the project in that directory.

Tell me how that goes

see it gives me this error:

MPLAB has problems with paths to build directories that are too long and (if I remember correctly) include spaces. Try moving your build directory to something like c:\frc.

Ok I have no idea what is going on:

The first two warnings are related to calls to printf() and the error, I'm guessing, has to do with a call to Generate_Pwms().

To fix the problem, go to this dialog box: Project->Build Options->Project->MPLAB C18 Tab

Once you're there, click on the "Use Alternate Settings" check box, and then add "-nw=2066 -D_FRC_BOARD" to the end of the stuff in the associated text box. When done, it should read "-Ou- -Ot- -Ob- -Op- -Or- -Od- -Opa- -nw=2066 -D_FRC_BOARD" (without the quotes).
