linker/assembler problem, return code= -2

[dannyvanneijenhoff]

Hello
I have (had) a problem with compling on 2 pc's (VISTA 32, AND W7 64BIT). With FC3 and FC4.
A few moths ago, there was no problem, have Norton antivirus installed on both PC's
FC4 is working now (on VISTA), FC3 not.
Have someone a idee. thanks
------------------------------------------------
Changed in compiler options
in FC3 was, (and still is)
C\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Common\PPPv3\PPPv3.exe,
-cs 2 -chip PIC%p -nogui "%f.hex"
in FC4 is, is something changed AND IS WORKING, (on Vista)
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\tools\PICkit2\pk2cmd.exe,
-PPIC%p -F%f.hex -M -A5 -T -R -BC:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\tools\PICkit2\

Hello,

The problem is likely due to the file path. If you save the file into a folder off the C drive without non alphanumeric characters then the program should compile correctly.

Eg.

c:\Flowcode work\Data Klaar\

Do you have other idee's, this is not working.
Thanks Danny

Hello,

It looks like the compiler is looking in the wrong place for the linker.

If you go to Chip -> Compiler options in Flowcode and then check that the following values are as shown.

Flowcode v3.

Compiler Location: C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\BoostC\boostc.pic16.flowcode.exe
Compiler Params: -v -t PIC%p "%f.c"

Linker Location: C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\BoostC\boostlink.pic.exe
Linker Params: -ld "C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\BoostC\lib" libc.pic16.lib flowcode.pic16.lib "%f.obj" -t PIC%p -d "%d" -p "%f"

Flowcode v4.

Compiler Location: C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\BoostC\boostc.pic16.flowcode.exe
Compiler Params: -v -t PIC%p "%f.c"

Linker Location: C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\BoostC\boostlink.pic.exe
Linker Params: -ld "C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\BoostC\lib" libc.pic16.lib flowcode.pic16.lib rand.pic16.lib float.pic16.lib "%f.obj" -t PIC%p -d "%d" -p "%f"

YES,
Only changed, C:\Program Files to C:\Program Files(x86) , 3 times
