MPLAB Compile Error with MPLIB

Technical Programming

MPLab IDE v7.20 isn’t compiling the old competition code from last year’s competition. It compiles the default code just fine however. MPLab C18 Toolsuite locations have been set. Any suggestions?

P.S. It’s your creation of the object library comp.lib with MPLIB that’s failing, not any compilation.
You may not be doing what you think you’re doing.
Are there multiple projects associated with last year’s robot?

This isn’t the normal process for compiling code to download to a robot.

How come comp.lib is referenced without the full pathname like everything else is using?


Executing: "C:\mcc18\bin\mplib.exe" /c "comp.lib"

e.g.
“R:\2008-2009\Programming\comp\comp.lib”

It almost looks like that MPLIB.EXE is trying to create a Library (“comp.lib”)

From these Object Modules (ifi_startup.o, ifi_utilities.o, main.o, user_routines.o, user_routines_fast.o, user_SerialDrv.o, and user_util.o)

And also these Libraries (FRC_alltimers_8722.lib, FRC_library_8722.lib)

Does MPLIB.EXE let you make new Libraries from both Object Modules and old Libraries???
