Create a new project by selecting “Project -> New” from the toolbar. Follow the dialog boxes to
specify the project name and project path.
Make sure MPLAB is configured for the proper chip, as the CCS C compiler uses this selection
to determine which compiler to use (PCB, PCM, PCH, PCD, etc). The chip can be selected
using “Configure -> Select Device” from the MPLAB toolbar.
Add source files by either a.) right clicking on 'Source Files' in the MPLAB Project window or b.)
selecting “Project -> Add New File to Project..” from the MPLAB toolbar.
Performing a Make (hotkey is F10) or Build All will compile the source files separately, and link
the .o files in the final step. Make only compiles files that have changed, Build All will delete all
intermediate files first and then compile all files regardless if they have changed since last build
An individual unit can be compiled by right clicking on the file in the MPLAB Project window
and choosing 'Compile.' This will not re-link the project when it is done compiling this unit.
An already compiled .o file can be added to the project, and will be linked during the
Make/Build process.
If there is only one source in the project, it will be compiled and linked in one phase (no .o file
will be created).
Many project build options (such as output directory, include directories, output files generated,
etc) can be changed by selecting "Project -> Build Options“ from the MPLAB toolbar.
If the compile fails with an error that says something like “Target chip not supported” or
“Compiler not found” make sure that
a.) you have the proper PIC selected (use “Configure -> Select Device” from the MPLAB toolbar),
b.) the CCS C Toolsuite has been selected for this project (use “Project -> Set Language
Toolsuite” from the MPLAB toolbar) and
c.) the path for CCSC.EXE is configured correctly for your installation of the CCS C Compiler
(use “Project -> Set Language Tool Locations” on the MPLAB toolbar)
