MPASM: Firmware Won't Assemble

[glitched]

Hello:

After not checking the midibox site for quite some time, I decided to download the newest version of the V2 SID application.

I wanted to make one minor change (to make the encoder of the type "DETENTED3"), so I edited the setup_8580.asm file and saved it.

I ran MPASMWIN.exe with the proper settings for my pic (18F4685), but it will not assemble.

320 errors result, mostly of the type:

"Symbol not previously defined"

I don't get it.  I used to be able to compile, but it seems like something is missing.

I'm sure this is very simple.

If possible, maybe one of you could attach your *.hex file with the DETENTED3 encoder setting.

Thank you.

i had the same problem.

i think the issue is related to this:

http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,10552.0.html

and to the latest software releases.

(PS: i didnt tried to solve it, yet, because i don't really need to recompile the application)

Correct - we don't use MPASM any more. Are you on windows? The Quick Start Guide should take care of it.

Ahh.

See, I ran across that page in my search, but it seemed like it was geared more toward a developer or something because of all the tools you have to install and commands.  You used to just be able to open up one app and hit "assemble".

Actually, it's not bad at all: just download the utilities and run a command.  No biggie.

Thanks!

Yeh, this is for cross-platform love ;) Macs and linux already do it, you just have to install gputils... PC's need a couple of other bits to act like *nix, but they get there without too much hassle ;)

After the multiple installs, the build was easy-cheesy.

Thanks for your help.
