Hi all,

I had a few minutes, so I decided to start playing a bit in C again.

I am taking the program I wrote previously, and trying to break it up
into smaller files. For example, I'm trying to get all the #defines
that I do to alias to hardware pins and place them in an external
header file. I want to do this so I can #include it at the top of all
the other files in my project, so the constant names are universal
across the project.

So, I created a .h file, and cut and pasted the 4 #define lines I had
in my main C file over. However, they don't seem to get an context
highlighting. And, when I try to build, it exits on an error that
wouldn't be there if the defines had worked.

This is all with MPLABX by the way.

So here's the thing. The three other #includes in my main file work
fine. I have put my new header in the same folder and used double
quotes to include it. I have another file that I included locally
previously, and it's working fine. My header file appears in the
project tree under header files. I can't see anything bad in the
properties.

Still, it seem like the compiler isn't actually processing that file.

Anyone have any thoughts? I'm really not sure what to try next.

Thanks!

Josh
