FC7 project does not compile

[leoo]

Hi,

I've just downloaded FC7 7.3.0.5 (thanks Martin for your help) and tried to compile a project that I did in 2020 using FC7 7.3.0.9, just to check that everything still worked OK. It fails to compile, and comes up with the following message.

"In function 'FC_CAL_SPI_Master_Init_1':
C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 7\CAL\/PIC16BIT\PIC16BIT_CAL_SPI.c:228:3: error: 'SPI1STATbits' undeclared (first use in this function)"

This project compiled successfully previously and no changes have been made to the project since then. It also compiles properly in FC8 8.2.2.15, after re-assigning the pin-outs.

I've gone through the forum and noted that in most instances of these types of undeclared vars, it is because of unassigned pins, but I cannot find any that are not assigned.

I haven't attached the project here, as it is proprietary. Can someone shed some light on what I've missed?

Kind regards.
Leo

Hi Leo, you're welcome.
Have you updated v7 with the latest components from here?
If Flowcode is running when it's updated, you will need to reload your project for the updates to take effect.

Hi Martin,

Thanks, I downloaded FC7_Latest_Files_23-02-21.zip from the link and extracted into the Flowcode 7 folder. I closed FC7 and re-opened with the same results and the same compiler errors.

I see that the version is 7.3.0.7, which is the same version that I did the project on originally. This makes things a bit confusing, as the only thing to change (I think) is the version of Win and a more up to date PC.

Regards.

Unfortunately, Flowcode v7 is too old for support.
If you post or PM your project to me, then I can see if my Flowcode v7 compiles your project ok.
The thing to bear in mind if Flowcode 10 is free, if you have the same target as your current project, since all the components are now free.
Take a look here.
Unlike previous versions, not only are all the components free, but the code and users macros that can be used are now unlimited.

Hi Martin,

I've PMéd the project to you to see whether you can compile it or not.

I've also installed FC10, The patch on the download page won't run and the free version of FC10 won't let me compile. There is no option to select a 30 day trial. This could be my fault entirely, but maybe you can suggest a way forward?

Regards.

Hello.
Before the project will compile you will need to make some changes.
The TCP_IP_EB023_00_2 now requires an unsigned int instead of two bytes for Create TCP Socket.
The DS1820 is not supported.
The full list of components can be found here
Do you have an alternative temperature sensor?
If you would like to make the changes then I will compile for you.
I have moved the components on to the 2D panel and aligned them all up.
Will send back your project via PM

Hi Martin,

Thanks, I will make the changes as per your instructions, and send the project back via PM when done.
