Hello,

you need to add source file (.c) to your project. Right click on folder "Sources", and then "Add file" (look at attachment):

I am having (I believe) a related problem. When I open a Project using "Recent Projects" (I haven't tried any other way) the source file is not part of the project - I have to add it to the Project every time I open the Project. I tried adding it to the project as is suggested, above, and I tried adding it using the "Add File to Project" button. The outcome is the same either way. I did a Project Save after both methods.

I'm still a relative newbie, so it's probably a "cockpit problem". Ideas?

Regards, EdC

Hi!

I tried to reproduce the issue you're talking about but I couldn't. Everything worked OK both in mikroC PRO for PIC v4.60 and v4.80 BETA.
Please, send me your project, I'll inspect it and suggest further steps.

Hi Slavisa. Thanks.
I am using WinXP (running under VMWare Fusion 3.1.3, on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.7).
Now, a walk-through...
1 - I start mikroC Pro for PIC: it says it is version v.4.60.0.0 at the top, left, corner of the window.
2 - I click Projects>Recent Projects>...\ADC_SIO.mcppi. My Project comes up, including my C source code, ADC_SIO.c, in the editor.
3 - I mouse over to the Project Manager tab, on the right. It opens and says that my project only has two files associated with it: ADC_SIO.hex and ADC_SIO.asm.
4 - I click on Built Current Project, at the top, and the compiler complains that the main function is not defined.
5 - Again, I mouse over to the Project Manager tab, on the right. When It opens, I right-click on Sources and add file ADC_SIO.c.
6 - Again, I click on Built Current Project, at the top, and the compiler is now happy.
7 - I notice that the Save Project button at the top-left is highlighted and I save the project. The Save Project button is now grayed-out.
8 - Now I close out the IDE, restart it, and repeat the process. When I get to step 3, the C source is still not there, and when I get to step 4, the compiler still complains.

Hi!

I am using WinXP (running under VMWare Fusion 3.1.3, on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.7).

Unfortunately, I can not recreate the same testing conditions so I can try to reproduce your problem.
If you have the same problems when working on the PC with XP OS, please, contact me again.

I have an almost identical setup on my MacBook so I may be able to test it for you. Is it worth you sending me your project? PM me and I'll give you an e-mail address to send it to.
