prop basic can't find the compiler error....?

Posts: 2
I have downloaded the two zip files noted in the first posting, extracted them, lauched prop basic, used its editor to create a simple 5 line blinker,· hit "compile" and get the error message "can't find compiler."
I have targeted the propbasic-bst.exe file in the IDE prefs as requested, but it will not find the compiler.
What gives?· Sorry if this is obvious to most.

It should report what version it found.

Use BASIC on the Propeller with the speed of assembly language.

Got it! Thanks for all the help here. I should play with this for a while. I'm a new prop user but a bit putoff by my initial spin efforts and figure to hang around prop basic a bit for the quick and dirty efforts.
I did have an issue in setup in finding the prop board as it was hung on com 3 (USB) and wanted to use com1 but solved that issue on my own.

Is that Viewport IDE? My version has no "SAVE" button, instead an "OK" button. It seems to store the changes when clicking OK.
Or you can click "DEFAULTS" and it will organise the links for you if you saved the PropBasic compiler to "C:\Program Files\PropBasic\PropBasic.exe"
Another option is to add the PropBasic.exe path to your system path variable... then you can open a command prompt and compile any .pbas file from the command line. If you want to go that route, but are not sure how, let us know for help!
