MPASM requires that it's output .HEX file has the same name (first 8 chars) as the intput .ASM file. If you've named the top node in your project something other than the name of our source file, then the file tha MPASMWIN builds will not be found.

Anyone that have ever got the message "Mplab is unable to find the output file xxxxx.hex , Build failed" when trying to build a project with just one source node (xxxxx.asm) ?? I've followed the tutorial for new project with one source step by step but always get the same result. I'm using the mpasmwin.exe that comes with MPLAB3.40 and it really seems to generate the corresponding xxxxx.hex file (it's there if you look with the explorer) but don't know why Mplab does not see it. I also use the same directory in which Mplab is installed. Thanx in advance... ------------------------- Original message header: >MAIL FROM: >RCPT TO: >RCPT TO: >RCPT TO: >RCPT TO: >RCPT TO: >RCPT TO: >DATA >Received: from prometheus.Microchip.COM (firewall-user@prometheus-gate.Microchi p.COM [198.175.253.129]) by titan.Microchip.COM (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id MAA 25859; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 12:46:53 -0700 >Received: by prometheus.Microchip.COM; id AA04406; Wed, 12 Aug 98 13:16:21 MST >Received: from vms.dc.lsoft.com(206.241.13.27) by prometheus.Microchip.COM via smap (3.2) id xmaa04169; Wed, 12 Aug 98 13:15:33 -0700 >Received: from PEAR.EASE.LSOFT.COM (206.241.12.19) by VMS.DC.LSOFT.COM (LSMTP f or OpenVMS v1.1b) with SMTP id <8.FFA00C8C@VMS.DC.LSOFT.COM>; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 1 5:45:29 -0500 >Received: from MITVMA.MIT.EDU by MITVMA.MIT.EDU (LISTSERV release 1.8c) with NJ E id 8734 for PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 15:46:53 -0400 >Received: from MITVMA (NJE origin SMTP@MITVMA) by MITVMA.MIT.EDU (LMail V1.2b/1 .8b) with BSMTP id 8242; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 15:35:47 -0400 >Received: from correo.unicaja.es [195.76.110.2] by mitvma.mit.edu (IBM VM SMTP V2R4a) via TCP with SMTP ; Wed, 12 Aug 1998 15:35:15 EDT >X-Comment: mitvma.mit.edu: Mail was sent by correo.unicaja.es >Received: from botijoarrakis (i245.unicaja.es [195.76.110.245]) by correo.unica ja.es (AIX4.2/UCB 8.7/8.7) with SMTP id VAA17452 for ; W ed, 12 Aug 1998 21:28:52 +0200 (DFT) >Mime-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" >X-Priority: 3 >X-Msmail-Priority: Normal >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 >X-Mimeole: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable >Message-Id:<01bdc543$67112720$0100007f@botijoarrakis> >Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 18:16:30 +0200 >Reply-To: pic microcontroller discussion list >Sender: pic microcontroller discussion list >From: Torres >Subject: MPLAB 3.40 Projects >To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU ------------------------- End of message header.
