MPLAB IDE 6.60 Error

I'm having a lot of trouble using the compiler from MPLAB. I downloaded the 6.60 version directly from this site: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/id...ame =en019469 . However whenever I try to compile code it gives me this error:

Couldn't locate build tool. Check tool locations.
BUILD FAILED: Thu Nov 04 21:26:53 2004

Our team doesn't have the CD that comes with our Robovation kit, so we figured that the downloaded version would be the same. Is there anyway to fix this compiler problem, or at least use another compiler to build our projects?

Thanks,

Westerly High School Robotics

Re: MPLAB IDE 6.60 Error

You can buy the CD off innovationfirst.com . You need that specific compiler to compile your code so it works with the robot. To my knowledge, no other compiler works for our type of thing. You can also try borrowing the compiler from a team nearby or so.

Re: MPLAB IDE 6.60 Error

Our team is sort of short on funds and we're in a rush to get coding, so we were wondering if there was any place we could download the compiler.

Thanks

Re: MPLAB IDE 6.60 Error

Here, try this link. It's different from the one you posted earlier, and it's from Microchip. It's a full install, not a trial.

I think i know wat u r going thru, wat u need is a C compiler for MPLAB. The one by microchip costs money but i know of one that doesnt. Its by Hi-tech software and is a freeware, check it out:

Hope this helps.

Re: PICC lite

Your problem is that you only downloaded MPLAB and not C18 as well. MPLAB is the freeware microchip IDE. By itself MPLAB does not support programming in C, only assembly. You need to download C18 which is a C compiler pluggin. Follow Max's link to get a 60-day trial of C18.

BTW i would try to stick to C18 and not the Hi-tech compiler. Each has slight deviations from ANSI standard C that may get you into trouble. There is a possibility that the default code will not even compile with the HI-Tech compiler. It also uses a different project file format etc. You *may* also run into a problem with the fact that there is a .o file included w/the default code and i doubt that the .o format is consistent btw the compilers.

Re: MPLAB IDE 6.60 Error

I shipped him a copy of the CD, so he's set.

I don't mean to offend anyone but whoever who said that my above post was "Entirely useless", ship the guy a CD and then talk about useless posts...
