antivir pro I would have just told it not check it no more but I lost all my file on this computer about 4 months ago when I moved to bigger hard drive I looked on the net and I'm not the only one that has had this happen

It drives my antvir crazy and i have removed it and SourceBoost works fine

For now. Sooner or later you're going to need that file.

Comodo doesn't think it's a virus either.

I've only run into Antivir once before on a customer's HORRIBLY malwared & trojaned machine. The OS couldn't be saved without more work than it was worth doing. Formatted and started over. That job gave me a pretty low opinion of Antivir.

I think Futz is right.

My guess is that when to try to link object files it will fail.

Maybe you should remove the anti virus.

hey guys this is a nice topic. I want to start using 16F pics again also and want to confirm you guys recommend BoostC right? I want to write in C mainly for portability.

I just dowloaded boostC. My pic of choice to test and play is a PIC16F627A and i wanted to know. With boostC can it be MPLAB friendly? Like can i compile from MPLAB? I havent tried it in a while lol.

Scratch that i just installed and it asked me lol

Can someone post a small blink led sample please. So i know how to setup any configs and such.

Given that you have used C18 this may help. It is a header file that allows code to be used with either C18 or BoostC. It is for the 18F1320 but it provides the flavor of what the diffs are and what you need to do. Note that the user code uses lata_ instead of that used by either compiler.

Code:

#ifdef _BOOSTC
  #define FOUND_COMPILER
  
  #define lata_     lata
  #define trisa_    trisa
  #define porta_    porta
  
  #define latb_     latb
  #define trisb_    trisb
  #define portb_    portb
  
  #define intcon_   intcon
  #define intcon2_  intcon2
  #define osccon_   osccon
  #define t0con_    t0con
  #define t0con__   t0con
  #define adcon1_   adcon1
  
  #include <system.h>
  #pragma CLOCK_FREQ 8000000
  #pragma DATA _CONFIG1H, _INTIO2_OSC_1H
  #pragma DATA _CONFIG2H, _WDT_OFF_2H
  #pragma DATA _CONFIG3H, _MCLRE_ON_3H
  #pragma DATA _CONFIG4L, _LVP_OFF_4L
#endif

// MCC18
#ifdef __18CXX
  #define FOUND_COMPILER
  
  #define lata_     LATA
  #define trisa_    TRISA
  #define porta_    PORTA
  
  #define latb_     LATB
  #define trisb_    TRISB
  #define portb_    PORTB
  
  #define intcon_   INTCONbits
  #define intcon2_  INTCON2bits
  #define osccon_   OSCCONbits
  #define t0con__   T0CONbits  
  #define t0con_    T0CON
  #define adcon1_   ADCON1
  
  #pragma	config OSC = INTIO2, WDT = OFF, LVP = OFF
  #include <p18f1320.h>
  
  void interrupt(void);
  
  #pragma code low_vector=0x18
  void low_interrupt (void)
  {
    _asm GOTO interrupt _endasm
  }
  #pragma code
  #pragma interruptlow interrupt
  
#endif

#ifndef FOUND_COMPILER
   error: unknown compiler
#endif

It is all at ( for an 877 ) **broken link removed** and BoostC is excellent, full version is very reasonably priced. Works on 16F and 18F series.
Will work with MPLab, but its own IDE is fine, maybe better.

Maybe you should remove the anti virus.

I tried sysclean it said it was ok But if you lost years of things you watch for them to.

AtomSoft · Feb 28, 2009

awesome thanks! both of you. I will try to blink some leds and see how it goes lol

be80be · Feb 28, 2009

Boost C looks real good a lot more how to's now that I no it's not going to kill my computer I tried it fist from John main site.

Are you using vista if you are you have to run as SourceBoost admin

AtomSoft · Feb 28, 2009

na XP Home SP2

be80be · Feb 28, 2009

Post your code and I'll try to build it

Code:

#include <system.h>
#include <PIC16F627A.h>

    set_bit( porta, 0 ); 

    while(1);

Jason! Leave out the #include <PIC16F627A.h>. The compiler will do that for you.

be80be · Feb 28, 2009

It Compiles fine in SourceBoost IDE are you building from C:\ I get errors like that when I try to build a file I have on my desktop dum idea but when it late some times for get lol

be80be · Feb 28, 2009

how will it no what chip if you don't tell it

Jason! Leave out the #include <PIC16F627A.h>

you need that for a Quick build

Mike - K8LH · Feb 28, 2009

It knows because the device is defined in the MPLAB project and passed along to the BoostC compiler when you execute the build command...

The project compiles fine with or without the "include <PIC16F627A.h>" line

AtomSoft · Feb 28, 2009

damn why its now working for me ? Im going to uninstall then reinstall it and make sure the intergration is correct
