[HELP] Need to compile and convert this code [mikroC]

[bluesam]

Dear all,
I need to compile and convert this mikroC code for PIC16F877A to get a hex file.
Since I don't have the software, would you guys help me to get that hex file for me?

This program is about interfacing lm35dz-pic16f877a-lcd16x2 by Satiesh Kumar.
note: I use 4MHz Ceramic Resonator on OSC1 and OSC2

Your help is absolutely thanked.

Go to mikroC PRO for PIC - C compiler for PIC microcontroller - mikroElektronika and download the mikroC compiler. The free version allows to compile code that generates hex file less than 2KB. I also use the free version of mikroC. Good Luck!

@Raj: thx, i'll give a try to download it.

@all: I still need help to convert it as a comparison and a back up. (I have a decent internet connection)

Dear Raj and all too,
I got your link and gave some try.
I did get a hex file but when I burn it to PIC16f877a, it got this error message:

Fuse error 0x..
Good 0x..
Bad 0x..

a. What is it mean guys?
b. Can you help me to get that hex file that works?

Many thanks
samuel

hi guys,
after i posted the question above, i've finally found the answer

a. This probably would be because the config word is not set-up correctly for a 16F877A. I would said that the code space did program correctly as microC or your software does not try to program the config word if there is a verify error before hand

Tools: Valid Fuses
When programming a PIC chip, the fuse settings must be set. For example, if a 20Mhz crystal is used, the fuse must be set to 'HS'. To set "Code Protection from External Reads", the fuse must be set to 'PROTECT'. An sample line of C, included before main() is shown next.
#fuses HS,PROTECT //fuse settings
A nice feature of CCS is the ability to find valid fuse settings for a particular micro. Simply select "View >> Valid Fuses" for a list.
(from CCS C review in PIC micros and C)

b. Use the fixhex2.exe which is often provided alongside MicroBrn
this is the link but the old one:**broken link removed**

hope this will be helpful
