trouble compiling

My aim here is to compile the code for a 18F2455, as it is so similar to the 2550 i expected this to be 'easy'
after installing the latest MPLAB IDE, C18 lite compiler and the sources for USB (from 'Microchip Application Libraries v2010-08-04 Installer.exe') and copying the usb_descriptors.c source to the project directory...
The files for USB don't seem to be in the same directory hierarchy as expected.. the compiler looks for files in ./USBStack
i found the files it was looking for in J:Microchip Solutions v2010-08-04MicrochipUSB
so i renamed the folder to USBStack and moved it into the project directory.
now it gets stuck at linking

and yes i did modify the 'library search path' to the correct MCC18 directory

It looks like something is still missing from the USB stack paths, or maybe Microchip changed the latest USB stack and I need to do some fix3es.

Just comment out

Code: [Select]
//#define USB_CDC_SET_LINE_CODING_HANDLER mySetLineCodingHandler

And it should compile.

That was the wrong answer :) There are some new files (usb2uart, irreflect, hal_lin_m) that need to be added to the project. Then it seems to compile fine.

Re: trouble compiling

so comment out that line in usb_config.h?
These new files you mention are already in the project folder, except for hal_lin_m which I can not find.
unless you mean they actually need to be included in the source

anyway after commenting out that line i get this error

That's what happened to make me retracted my first solution :)

Try updating to the latest source in SVN, I committed a new project file with the latest source included. You may have to update the include paths again.

Thanks Ian. that fixed it.
now i just need to work out how to compile for the 2455. I noticed in hardwareprofile.h you have some modifications to work with HAD_USBIRC to change interrupts.. so i suppose you are working on it.
simply changing the chip type in the compiler wont work i see (complains about chip type being different in source files, yet i don't know where this is defined). maybe I'll leave it to you :P im not much good with "low-level" pic stuff.

hi yaywoop

at the "rm18f2550 - HID Bootload.lkr" file there is this line:

FILES p18f2550.lib

I just changed it to

FILES p18f2455.lib

and it compiled successfully for PIC18F2455.. however, I wasn't able to test it in actual since I don't have 18f2455.

The new version with the 2455 compile is out. It's untested, if you use it please let me know if it works.
