compiling in MPlab

[Greg Needel]

so this is going to sound really dumb but remember that i am a mechanical guy. I am working on a project where we need update the code that someone has already written but we can't seem to figure out how to compile the code. We are using MPlab 7.1 anyone want to point me in the direction of the correct button.


P.S. if this works i will post a picture of what we are doing...it is worth it

I think what you're looking for is the Make option in the Project menu. If I recall correctly, F10 works as a shortcut.

(You need to choose Project -> Open... first and select the proper .mcp file, so the IDE knows what program files you're working with and how to compile them.)

thanks, that was the solution, we had just opened the .c code without the project being open so it wasn't giving us that option. It worked...now we just need to tweek some variables.
