PropBASIC - Trouble with compiler directives.

simonl

OK, it's the first time I've tried to use PropBASIC's compiler directives and they're not working for me :-( Here's what I've got:

' ----------------------------------------------------------------------
' Conditional Compilation Symbols
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------
'{$DEF TenMHz}                                     ' REMOVE if using 5MHz XTAL

' ----------------------------------------------------------------------
' Device Settings
' ----------------------------------------------------------------------
'{$IFDEF TenMHz}
DEVICE          P8X32A, XTAL2, PLL8X
XIN             10_000_000
'{$ELSE}
DEVICE          P8X32A, XTAL1, PLL16X
XIN             5_000_000
'{$ENDIF}

I'm expecting the compiled code to output:

  _ClkMode = XTAL2 + PLL8X
  _XInFreq = 10000000

but it's output is:

  _ClkMode = XTAL1 + PLL16X
  _XInFreq = 5000000

What have I missed?

The correct directive is {$DEFINE} (you have {$DEF}).

Ah, thanks Jon.

I got the DEF from the "PropBASIC 00.00.80 Feb 11, 2010" manual (http://forums.parallax.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=0) - I guess that must be out-of-date, considering I'm using the latest version of PropBASIC (00.00.92)!

Thanks again - that works great now

Oh... that's WAY out-of-date -- the attached doc has it correct.· Bean and I have been very busy and not able to finish, but we will, shortly, as soon as we both clear some big projects from our desks.
