I'm currently dealing with TCS230 color sensor interfacing with PIC16F877A. When i compiled my code with MPLAB, it appears to be error. Below is the code for LCD.c for display:

Code:
#include <htc.h>
#include "LCD.h"


void  InitLCD(void)
 {
    TRISA = 0;
	TRISE = 0;
    TRISE0 = 0;
    TRISE1 = 0;
    TRISE2 = 0;
    TRISB1 = 0;
    TRISB2 = 0;



   WriteLCDCommand(0x38);// 8 BIT DATA LENGTH AND NUMBER OF DISPLAY LINES
   WriteLCDCommand(0x0E); // Turn on cursor
   WriteLCDCommand(0x01); //Set cursor to line1
   WriteLCDCommand(0x06);//    CLEAR THE DISPLAY
 
 
}
  
void ConfigDataIn(void)
{
    //TRISA = 0xFF;
    //TRISEbits.TRISE0 = 1;
    //TRISEbits.TRISE1 = 1;
    
}

{
    //TRISA = 0x00; 
    //TRISEbits.TRISE0 = 0;
    //TRISEbits.TRISE1 = 0;
    
         
}

unsigned char Enable;
void EnableLCD(void)
{
    
    //TRISEbits.TRISE1 = 1;
    PORTEbits.RE2 = 1;
    LCDDelay(500);

}

The compiler appear errorundefined identifier "PORTEbits" and also struct/union required. How actually this mean and how it cn be solved?

You don't need to mention the port simply give Pin number like RE1=1;RC1=0; etc
For TRISC you may pass the hex value like TRISC=0X08,TRISA=0X3F; etc as per your requirement.
 

owh alright..
i've tried again..
and now it appear another error stating:

Error [500] ; 0. undefined symbols:
_InitLCD(load.obj) _DisplayString(load.obj)

How actually this means?
 

hay won poh Ting please read below thread completely and implement your self and then after if any error then post your code here using wrap
Code:
 tag.

Actually, the way Won Poh Ting entered the code for the port/pins/registers is the preferred way for the newer versions of HiTech C. If you are setting a port/register value, you can use the port/register name. If you are setting a bit value, you can use PORTbits.bitname (example: TRISEbits.TRISE0 = 0;). The assignments in Init_LCD (TRISE1 = 0;) were wrong but the rest were correct.

Also, there is nothing wrong with entering 0 instead of 0x00 as numbers. Actually, when I set up my TRIS registers, I enter it in binary (0b01011110 vs. 0x5e vs 94) since it's easier for me to tell which pin is an input and which is an output. All three values I listed still set the register to the same value.
