Hi guys

I recently installed the microchip XC8 v2.0 compiler, it doesn't do suggestive inputs anymore, and can't recognize the key words like uint8_t, PORTAbits.RA0 etc... (have a red wiggle line under those key words). But it recognize int etc...

But if I switch back to a earlier one (v1.45), all work fine.

Both compiler seen to compile no error tho.

Any thought??

 

Not sure this will fix it and I take no responsibility for any adverse effects, but:

Tools
Options
Embedded
Build Tools

Make sure it says C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\xc8\v2.00\bin\xc8-cc.exe and not just xc8.exe for the compiler and assembler settings.
Have you gone to MPLAB X IDE v5.00 yet? It's not going to like your old projects either.

You are right, I need to update my IDE (still at v4.15), thanks for your help.
