I use C18 and don't find this problem.
Do you create a project and instruct it to use C18 C compiler in the initial step through setup? I'm not at my PC that has C18 installed on it as I am away from home so I can't tell you exactly what it says for the options. But when you keep clicking NEXT through the project setup you will come across some sort of list to chose what method you want to use, or something of the sort anyway. Read the setup guide book of C18 and see what it says to do.

I only suggest this as your error says 'no tool for this suffix'. Maybe you're trying to build a .C file but you haven't properly told MPLAB IDE you want to use C18 in the project setup. Just a thought anyway.

I'm sorry I can't be more specific. I don't have my stuff infront of me to give you exact details.

 

Open this PDF link and go to page 27.

http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/MPLAB_C18_Getting_Started_51295f.pdf

You will notice there is a list of language tools in the project wizard.
Be sure you select MPLAB C18 Compiler (mcc18.exe).

This is all I can suggest from what I know of your issue.
If this doesn't work get back to me or try asking on the microchip.com forum.

mate send me a copy of your code would you please. Let me just check line 193.

send it to hurdystuff@hotmail.co.uk

There may just be something wrong in your code, i don't know. Worth a look anyway.

 

iam running a simple program abd getting this error(following ..)i have added a linker file and header file but ths problem remains and dsecondly i have sorted out everything fron build option and set project tools..

oh I remember I used to get errors like that too. It was something to do with the memory size. Just some simple sertting needs changing. You'll have to look it up in one of the bookelts they give u for C18. I don't have mine to hand at the mo but when I get them I'll look the page number up for u. it may help.

 

Hello. Did you solve your problem about the microchip compiler error?
I'm having the same sympthoms as you did:
"Could not spawn langauge tool. Check command-line options. (193)"
and I can't figure how to solve it.
If you could give some help I would really be apprecited.
Thank you.

hello i'm having the same issue saying, "Executing: "C:\MCC18\bin\mcc18.exe" -p=18F452 "USART2.c" -fo="USART2.o"
Could not spawn langauge tool. Check command-line options. (5)"

Could anyone please help me out?

I'm still searching for a solution and if i do find i'll also let everyone know.

Thank you

1) I went to projects->build options and changed the compiler optimisation settings to custom accept the options.

2) Depending on target device use the linker file with 'i' attached. For instance rather than 18f452.lkr use the linker file 18f452i.lkr

3) Lastly i modified the linker script (right click on it and use the edit option) to combine banks into a large protected DATABANK then assigned a SECTION to the new region.

Regards

Pss it would be great if solutions are posted soon as they are "discovered".
