Once you have installed the compiler you need to point Flowcode to the HITECH installation directory to allow the compiler to be referenced by Flowcode. To do this open Flowcode and then click on the "chip" menu and select "compiler options".

If your using a 10F, 12F or 16F target
Compiler Location 32-bit OS = C:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.83\bin\picc.exe
Compiler Location 64-bit OS = C:\Program Files (x86)\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.83\bin\picc.exe
Params = --CHIP=%p -N48 %f.c
If your using a 18F target
Compiler Location 32-bit OS = C:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\PICC-18\9.80\bin\picc.exe
Compiler Location 64-bit OS = C:\Program Files (x86)\HI-TECH Software\PICC-18\9.80\bin\picc.exe
Params = --CHIP=%p -N48 %f.c
If your using a Matrix target with Matrix USB bootloader eg MIAC, ECIO
Compiler Location 32-bit OS = C:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\PICC-18\9.80\bin\picc.exe
Compiler Location 64-bit OS = C:\Program Files (x86)\HI-TECH Software\PICC-18\9.80\bin\picc.exe
Params = --CHIP=%p -N48 %f.c --CODEOFFSET=800h --ROM=default,-0-7FF --OUTPUT=inhx032
The next two text boxes control the linker settings and require the following information. You should ensure that the path to the Flowcode directory is correct.
Flowcode v4
Linker Location 32-bit OS = C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\Tools\DoNothing\DoNothing.exe
Linker Location 64-bit OS = C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\Tools\DoNothing\DoNothing.exe
Linker Parameters =
Flowcode v5
Linker Location 32-bit OS = C:\Program Files\Flowcode\v5\Tools\DoNothing\DoNothing.exe
Linker Location 64-bit OS = C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\v5\Tools\DoNothing\DoNothing.exe

1) There must be no spaces in the Flowcode filename.
2) There must be no punctuation in the Flowcode filename.
3) The Flowcode filename must not start with a number.
The following PICmicro targets have been created to work with this new HITECH compatibility, and will currently only work when used with the HITECH compiler:
PIC10F devices : 10F200, 10F202, 10F204, 10F206, 10F220, 10F222
New PIC16/18 devices which are currently unsupported by the BoostC compiler.
If you are using the ICD functionality with the HITECH compiler then you must ensure that the communications speed in the project options is set to approx 3x what it would be for the default BoostC speed. For example at a clock speed of 19660800Hz the default ICD rate is 9. Multiplying 9 by 3 gives a rate of 27, which should allow the ICD to work when compiled with HITECH.

In v5 there is an option to save the edited configuration settings. After you have changed all the settings and tested they work go back into the compiler options, type in a name for your configuration eg "HiTech 16 9.83 + PPP" and click the disk icon to save the configuration. You can then use the drop down selection to choose between the default and your edited settings.
