Best regards.

Maybe you have use a previous workspace. Delete the workspace, open again the project with mplab and try again. Mplab will generate another workspace.

Hi Amtalan,

You must fist add the linker script file to the project. Right click on
"Linker Scripts" in the project tree and then hit Add file. Then drill down to
C:\mcc18\lkr\18f452i.lkr to add the file.

Next make sure that all the dir in the "Project\Build Options\Projects" menu are filled in. The last one in that list is the linker script path.

Good Luck

I met with this issue.But now it is ok.
Maybe you can try according to following steps: project-build option-project-directories-include search path-new-C:\MCC18\h-OK; then project-build option-project-directories-library search path-new-C:\MCC18\lib-OK.

anniechina, thank you for your thorough followup. Your suggestion fixed my issue right away.

This is something that is really frustrating about the PIC environment. When I start my project I select the C18 compiler tools and my chip (a PIC18Fxxxx) but for some reason the wizard doesn't do the following critically important steps:

1) Include the proper LKR script
2) Include the proper include path
3) Include the proper library path

Under what circumstances would I not need these items? They should, for the sanity of all developers, be included automatically. Without smart users in the community like anniechina I would be dead in the water right now.

In any case, thank you for your words of wisdom. I can finally get started on my project. Smile

Thank you all for this information. I've programmed a handful of other 8 bit MCU's and figured PIC should be the way to go and bought the PICkit3. I couldn't find ANY getting started that actually worked - it all appeared to be from the PICkit2 which although it looks identical is very different.

I eventually just downloaded the latest MPLAB and lite version of MCC18. I kept getting compile errors and it was THIS string that helped me figure out I didn't have the directories proper nor did I have the linker set or the H file.

I didn't find ANYTHING in any of the manuals that said I had to do this! You guys got me there. Now I can actually figure out how to flip this LED on!!

hihi Thanks for the insight
