Hi All,

Can anyone guide me on what to do here. I have started up me flowcode 6 after a long while and did a small program, tried to compile it but it just kept going for ever. When I eventually clicked cancel I got a "boostc error code 255".

Any ideas?

I have tried the excluding the boost c file in my anti virus (bitdefender) and have unistalled and reinstalled flowcode 6 but it still the same.

My flowcode 5 is the same too.

Many thanks for your help in advance

Tony

Hi Tony,
To me it does sound like external app like a firewall (comodo for example) or AV is preventing the files to run.
have you tried disabling all security software including windows defender and firewalls (you can always pull the net cable out if that worries you ) and recompile.
Then if works just keep enabling security software one at a time until flowcode fails to compile.

The other thing can be the compiler settings.
Can you post all the settings e.g
for flowcode V6:
Compiler
Location:

Code: Select all

$(appdir)compilers\pic\boostc\boostc_$(family:/12F/16F).exe

Paramerters:

Code: Select all

-v -t PIC$(chip:u) "$(target).c"

Linker/ Assembler
Location:

Code: Select all

$(appdir)compilers\pic\boostc\boostlink_picmicro.exe

Paramerters:

Code: Select all

-ld "$(appdir)compilers\pic\boostc\lib" libc_$(family:/12F/16F).lib rand_$(family:/12F/16F).lib float_$(family:/12F/16F).lib "$(target).obj" -t PIC$(chip:u) -d "$(outdir:~-1)" -p "$(target)" -swcs 6 2
