I am using Windows 7 . The prewritten Hello message which has only 3 statements will not compile. ( C code)
I get the following error Building .... propeller-elf-gcc.exe Error:1
It looks like it can not find simpletools.h
The Simple Libraries contain the following folders Audio, Convert, Display,Motor,Protocol,Sensor,TestDevices, Utility.
Where is simpletools.h and how do I make the compiler load this file ?

I called support . They do not support Simple IDE at this time and refered me to the forrums. I have no Idea which forrum
to ask. If I am in the wrong location please let me know which forrum I need to access

    The correct Forum for SimpleIDE is here: http://forums.parallax.com/forumdisplay.php/93-Propeller-GCC-Beta

    Simpletools.h should be located in the C:\Program Files\SimpleIDE\Workspace\Learn\Simple Libraries\Utility\libsimpletools directory provided you installed SimpleIDE to the default directory. You can search the drive SimpleIDE is in for simpletools.h to find it. If it is not there then I would recommend reinstalling the application.

    Don Foren,

    The entire Parallax supports Simple IDE, so we should have been able to answer your questions when you called us. I believe it's a matter of identifying the proper path to the resources as NWCCTV pointed out below.

    I'll be certain that the next inquiries to Parallax over the phone receive the right support. I can only imagine that our tech support staff didn't know the answer, more than they didn't want to support it. Simple IDE is the cornerstone of our new educational program.

    Thanks,

    Ken Gracey

    Hello Don.

    Let's get some details.

    What SimpleIDE package did you use? (version 0-9-40-2 is the latest)
    Is this the first installation of SimpleIDE on your computer?
    Did you install to a folder like C:\Program Files (x86)\SimpleIDE ?
    Are you the computer administrator?
    After install, did you see SimpleIDE listed in the "Start" menu?
    When you ran the program the first time, were you able to click OK to finish the SimpleIDE Properties?
    Did you have to click Cancel to finish the SimpleIDE Properties?
    When you ran the program the first time, did it create the folder Documents\SimpleIDE ?

    Answering these 8 questions will help identify the issue. Please anwer them at least briefly.

    Thanks,
    --Steve
