gnupic: Thread: how to compile using SDCC?

I downloaded the new update of SDCC to my Linux machine,
and try to use following command for the test:

	$sdcc -mpic14 main.c

But I got following message back:

Temporary ERROR: at the moment you have to use
an include file create by inc2h.pl. See SDCC source:
support/scripts/inc2h.pl
this is a nuisance bug that will be fixed shortly


Anybody can help me?


- Mengjin -

A perl script named inc2h.pl is available in the SDCC distribution that converts the
Microchip include files (assembly) into SDCC header files (C includes).  You could do it
all by hand but the script makes it a lot easier.

The script can be found at <sdcc-source-directory>/support/scripts/inc2h.pl.

Running it as follows ...

$ cd <sdcc-source-directory>
$ perl support/scripts/inc2h.pl --help

... will provide the following information:


inc2h.pl - A utility to convert MPASM include files to header files
           suitable for the SDCC compiler.

	 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html See http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/
	 for the latest information on sdcc.

Usage:   inc2h.pl options

	 where options include:

         --processor=processor
	 -p=processor
	     The name of the processor (16f84, 16f877, etc.)

         --basepath=path
	 -I=path
	     The path to the "header" directory.  The default is
             "/usr/share/gpasm/header".

	 The header file will be written to the standard output.


So, to generate a header file name p16f877.h from the p16f877.inc file located
in, say, /usr/share/gputils/header/, you would issue the following command:

$ perl support/scripts/inc2h.pl -p=16f877 -I=/usr/share/gputils/header > p16f877.h

The only caveat (that I know of) is that the script is unable to infer the memory map 
of the processor from the "inc" file.  It must be told of the memory map using a table
in the perl source.  Currently, the memory maps are defined for the following devices:

16f84, 16f84a, 16f627, 16f628, 16f876, 16f877, 16f873, 16f874

If this isn't in the list of processors you are looking for, let me know and I'll try to
update the script.

Hope this helps!

Oops,

My directions should have mentioned that the "-s" option to perl is
expected to being used for rudimentary command-line parsing.  In fact,
the "shebang" (the first line in the perl script) explicitly includes
it.

The easiest way to execute the script would be:

$ cd <path_to_sdcc>
$ support/scripts/inc2h.pl -p=16f877 -I=/usr/share/gputils/header

This executed as expected on my system.

Give that a try and let me know if that doesn't work.

Sorry!

Why can't all the header files be included as a separate down load instead
of having to generate them with a perl script.

If I want to program a 16f76 or a 16f648 am I out of luck with SDCC?
