Make Error: Can't open file

[Ayrin]

Hello!
I'm new to this board and to PIC-programming, and I hope you can help me .

I haven't read through the forum, so this question might already have been answered, but googling the error phrase gave nothing...

Essentially, I'm getting a new, exciting error message from the MPLAB IDE (v 8.1).
After a successful compile, I get the following from the build output:

MPLINK 4.20, Linker

The file exists, and it has the same permissions as all other files. Any ideas where to look for a solution?

Thanks in advance!

It might have nothing to do with the problem but MPLAB doesn't like paths that are too long. Try moving your file nearer to root.

The folder is a CVS workspace... if I'm not mistaken, it isn't really trivial to move one of those?

Anyhow, more info... The build fails with the following complaints if I use "Make" (F10):

Make Error: Can't open file "C:\Documents and Settings\camilla\shared_w_ubuntu\Kod\bug_fix\ec2_flex\xmodem.c". (32)
A language-plugin exception occurred and was logged.

But if I use "Build all" (ctrl+F10), it builds as above.

A search of Microchips site found **broken link removed**. An old thread but maybe you should resurrect it.

Thank you, I have done that .
