BUILDING THE CODE
For the loaded project, building the code consists of compiling the source files to create
an object file, GMAP USB Demo PIC24.o, then linking the object file to create the out-
put files GMAP USB Demo PIC24.hex and GMAP USB Demo PIC24.cof. The HEX
file contains the data necessary to program the device, and the .cof file contains
additional information that lets you debug the code at the source code level.
3.4.1
Before building the project, check that the path of the MPLAB C30 compiler is set to the
correct path. The path must be consistent with the location of the compiler when you
installed it.
1. At the Project menu, click on Select Language Tool Suite… . This opens the
2. Verify that the C30 Toolsuite is selected in the Active Toolsuite list. In the
3. After verifying and/or modifying the paths, click OK to exit.

3.4.2
Before building the project, set the build for a release version. From the menu bar of
the main MPLAB IDE window, select Project > Build Configuration, then select
Release.
To build the project in the main MPLAB IDE window, select Project > Make. The Build
Output window appears (Figure 3-5).
Observe the progress of the build. When the “BUILD SUCCEEDED” message displays,
you are ready to program the device.
Select Language Toolsuite dialog (Figure 3-4).
Toolsuite Contents list, select each item, then verify the path for that item in the
Location box. If necessary, modify the path by clicking on Browse, then
browsing to and selecting the correct location in the dialog that follows.
