HiTech C error: system.h not found

[chicoDaMan]

Hi - New Flowcode 6 user here...I'm getting things set up to use the High Tech C compiler.

I used the instructions in the WIKI (http://www.matrixtsl.com/wiki/index.php ... (PICmicro)).

But when I try to compile I get the error:

Code: Select all

I imported this Flowcode source file from a friend who's a Flowcode 5 user. He sent me his v5 .c output file and it compiles ok with HTC in MPLAB on my machine. I sent him my v6 output file and he gets the same error on his HTC/MPLAB setup.

I couldn't find any reference to this issue in the forums...am I overlooking something?

Thanks...

EDIT:
for interest only..
do you installed the compiler as PRO or as LITE version?

hi
thank you for link to wiki Hightec c compiler options i had searched this.
btw have edit your link

have a look into your HighTec C folder where libs and include are.
"C:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.83\"
check / look up if system.h is in your include folder or missing

second,
run cmd ( shell ) from Start

Code: Select all

type in
c:\users\yourname\echo %path%

example
check that
"C:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.83\bin"
is in your path
perhabs it helps

best wishes

PRO version. I've been using this compiler for years. I've masked the serial number, for obvious reasons...

have a look into your HighTec C folder where libs and include are.
"C:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.83\"

Thanks for the suggestion, but there is no "system.h" file in the Hi-Tech folders. There is a "sys.h", but that's not called by the Flowcode output.

The Flowcode V5 output for the Hi-Tech compiler does NOT include "system.h", it includes "pic.h". The Flowcode version 5 output contains this:

Code: Select all

//Functions
#define MX_CLK_SPEED 4000000
#ifdef _BOOSTC
#include <system.h>
#endif
#ifdef HI_TECH_C
#include <pic.h>
#endif

On the other hand, the Flowcode version 6 output .c file includes "internals.h":

Code: Select all

/#define MX_PIC

/*========================================================================*\
   Use :Include the type definitions
\*========================================================================*/
#include "C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\CAL\internals.c"

...which in turn includes "system.h":

Code: Select all

#ifdef MX_PIC
  #include <system.h>
#endif

Flowcode version 5 clearly avoids including "system.h" but Flowcode version 6 does include it.

So....is it possible that Flowcode 6 is mistakenly including "system.h" when configured for the Hi-Tech compiler?

I'd dig in and start modifying the Flowcode "internals.c" file, but I just purchased Flowcode and hesitate to start mucking around under the hood until I understand it better.

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Thanks...chico

hi

not sure is this the end solution for yours.
in HITECH include folder:
- copy sys.h to system.h
now you have 2 same files with same defines

take this to the HITECH include file too, you will be missing this in next steps.

if your chip is not supported you can try this too

not sure that all steps will help you 100 procent, ( first step can it be there is a mistake but not sure - try it like i posted ) but this are the things i found if i use the search funktion in forum

best wishes

Hi Rudi - Thanks for the response. I've been struggling with this since I purchased Flowcode a few weeks back. I want to get past compiler issues and into the fun parts!

not sure is this the end solution for yours.
in HITECH include folder:
- copy sys.h to system.h
now you have 2 same files with same defines

OK...it doesn't give me the "can't find" message anymore...

take this to the HITECH include file too, you will be missing this in next steps.

OK. I put it into the FLOWCODE 6\CAL folder...please advise if this is not the correct location.

not sure that all steps will help you 100 procent, ( first step can it be there is a mistake but not sure - try it like i posted ) but this are the things i found if i use the search funktion in forum

I've been using the forum search function a lot, have learned a lot...but haven't yet found out if anybody is successfully using the HiTech compiler with Flowcode 6. But the WiKi instructions would indicate so, even though I haven't gotten it to work yet.

Here's the Flowcode error output for one of the sample files. I wonder if anyone can see what I'm doing wrong:

Compiler problems always make my head swim...is there something obvious that's causing the errors above?

Thanks....
