Hello
Are there any tutorials on how to configure MPLAB to use the Flowcode compiler for C because the MPLAB C compiler is not compadible with the one Flowcode uses and I cant build a project generated in flowcode, using MPLAB.

I'm sorry - we do not have any tutorials about MPLAB.

You may find that the differences between Microchip's C compiler and the BoostC compiler (as used by Flowcode) are not very big. The sourceboost forum may be able to offer help with this:

http://forum.sourceboost.com

I also know that the BoostC compiler/linker can be set up so that they work from within MPLAB. That may be a good route for you. Unfortunately, you would probably need to buy a separate licence for the BoostC compiler to allow this to happen.

Alternatively, you should be able to take the ASM file that gets generated and use this within an MPLAB project.

Is the Sourceboost version included in flowcode a full license or specially for flowcode?
Steve mentioned that you probably need an separate license if you want to compile c code outside the flowcode environment.

In an other forum topic there was already mentioned that the professional version of flowcode comes with the professional version of SourceBoost.

Manuals how the Sourceboost compiler can be integrated in both MPLAP and Sourceboosts own IDE can be found on the SourceBoost website.

If I'm upgrading to the new Flowcode I would like to leave the option open to program in Flowcode or in C.

So the question is: is it possible to compile c source code separate from Flowcode?

Yes and yes! The "professional" version of Flowcode uses a "pro" version of BoostC. But it is also a special version, because it will only work when launched from within Flowcode.

To do this, you will need to buy a separate licence for BoostC.
