Build Successful in MPLAB

I have just reformatted my PC and hence had to reinstall MPLAB. Opening up an old project and recompiling it, I don't get the **** Build Successful! **** any more at the end of the compilation.

The code is written in C, compiles OK and simulates OK, so all looks good, except for the lack of the reassuring '**** Build Successful! ****' line

Making a deliberate mistake generates a whole ton of error statements, so the compiler seems to be working OK

what have I done wrong?

Your chosen specialised subject: 'The plainly obvious'

I thought I might have encountered a good old problem with MPLAB that everyone knew about except me.

I will keep digging to see what I can find (Australia?) and let you know of my progress.

If anyone else has encountered this problem, please let me know

Thanks

From one Pomme to another, things are looking up. It might be a conflict between the Hi TECH compiler and MPLAB. I prefer the HI TECH editor, but the in-built compiler might be confusing MPLAB. Uninstalling everything then just reinstalling MPLAB seems to work.

I am now working on just installing the Eclipse editor from HI TECH to see if the conflict goes away.

Thanks for your help and the comments above were written with a smile on my face and meant in the best of humour!
 
All Happy Clappy now.

Installing just the Eclipse editor then installing MPLAB to do the compiler, simulator and programming function seems to be a match made in heaven..

I've got my

********** Build successful! **********

back and it sure is a pretty sight

Hi, E.W.

I Also recently had trouble with MPLAB 8.50 ...

The cure is having rubbed all traces of the old Hi-Tech Compilers and ESPECIALLY the Hi-Tide IDE ... not forgetting to remove HiTech data in the "Application Data" folder of "Documents and Settings" folder.

reinstalled MPLAB 8.50 and ONLY the lasts versions Of HiTech compilers ( Don't reinstall HiTide !!! Microchip replaced it by a MPLAB Plugin ...) and everything returned fine.

Using HiTide also had corrupted the PbP ( Melabs ) Plugins for MPLAB, some times ago, just past a PbP2.60 Upgrade.

Hi Alain

Thanks for this. This is a pity because the HI TECH editor is so good - it inserts indents in code, checks closing brackets etc. I am not having any problems editing my code in the HI TECH Eclipse editor (Hi Tide V3.15) and running this alongside MPLAB V8.46, so I will stay as I am. However, other people reading this post will hopefully find our conversations informative.

Thanks once again

Hi Alain

Thanks for this. I have just tried it and I still prefer the HI-TECH environment. I had problems with MPLAB v8.46, but have upgraded to v8.50 a week ago and all seems to be OK... for now...
