Halting build on first failure as requested.
BUILD FAILED: Tue Feb 03 15:42:53 2004

Which points to:

Generate_Pwms(pwm13,pwm14,pwm15,pwm16);

Commenting this line allows us to compile without errors, but this obviously is not the right way to go because errors are not something (visible or not) which we want lol.

We're seriously having problems considering nothing was changed...

This is FRC code, whereas, before you talked about EDU code.
What default code are you using and which controller?
The code looks like the FRC default code.

If you are loading the FRC default code onto the FRC then you might be missing a macro setting in MPLAB.

In MPLAB go to Project -> Build Options... -> Project
Click the "MPLAB C18" tab on the pop-up window that appears.
and see if "_FRC_BOARD" is defined under Macro definitions.

If not, click on "Add" and type in "_FRC_BOARD", click OK, close the pop-up windows and try building again.
