I am using the MAPLAB IDE with the MCC18 compiler, the microcontroller is PIC18F.

The compiler give me a syntax error at line 27 in the .h file when I compile the software, my code is:

myADC.h:
Code: 
#ifndef __myADC_H
#define __myADC_H

extern unsigned int room_ADval;	//line 27

#endif

myADC.c:
Code: 
#include <p18cxxx.h>
#include "main.h"
#include "myADC.h"
...
unsigned int room_ADval;
...

Please help, I used similar structure with Hi-tech C compiler for PIC16 and no problem found.
 

code looks OK - what was the error message?
could the error be in main.h (in C error messages often appear one or more lines after the actual error)?
try including myADC.h before main.h

I found what's wrong. I changed to use the Hi-tech comiler to compile, it also give me an error message, but it is clearer, it said I missed a ";". So I go to check "main.h" and found I missed a ";" at the last line. :p

Hey, horace1, you are really cool, that's exactly what you said, although I found it before reading you post, I will give you a thumb up :)
