SX/B -- I must be doing something silly

I just installed SX-IDE and overlayed the SX/B v1.10.

I opened an unaltered·example project and compiled.· I get unexpected errors, see the attached .ERR and .SRC files.

Apparently, I'm doing something silly, but as this is my first go at SX/B, I'm a bit stumped as to what.

Can you help?

Daniel

    Okay, I'm stumped too. I tested that program before updating the help file and projects ZIP, but now I'm getting the same error. Let me investigate.

    In the meantime I've attached a version that doesn't use string constant shortcuts.

    Daniel,

    Make sure that your SX-Key IDE is the latest - if you recently purchased it is most likely that your CD-ROM SX-Key installer doesn't even know about SX/B. Download the latest SX-Key editor here: http://www.parallax.com/sx/downloads.asp. In fact, I recommend downloading the latest SX-Key Editor Version 3.0 and trying again. I bet you are working with an older SX-Key IDE.

    If you do have the Version 3.0 SX-Key IDE, then it could be a matter of configuration. Within the SX-Key IDE, under Run/Configure select SX/B as the default editor type. The *.ERR list looks as if the SX-Key editor is unaware of the SX/B compiler. The second error about not finding the SRC file seems to be a function of looking in the wrong place. In the Run/Configure/SXB Compiler option check the SX/B Options for "Output Files" Directory.

    Let us know if this gets you started.

    Help About says IDE v3.0 (I just downloaded from Parallax after Jon's post about SX/B v1.10).

    Editor type is SX/B.

    All defaults used in installation.

    Running on Win2K, SP4; P-2 processor, 128Mb ram; if that matters.

    The error was mine, Daniel, not yours. Download the SXB_1_10.zip and SXB_Projects.zip again (I just reposted). I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

    Thanks, Jon. Based on current success with that one example, I'm guessing the PROJECTS are fixed. However, SEROUT.SXB in the EXAMPLES shows the same problems.

    Oi vai ... let me check everything and repost. I'm really sorry. I work so hard to make things work; I'm sure it's just a gremlin knowing that I go on vacation next week and wanting to torture me until then. I will double check all files in project and examples tonight to make sure they compile properly under 1.10.

    My day job is writing firmware and control software for high precision crank and cam grinder automation. I know all about 'shipping'.

    I'll check back over the weekend.

    It's all fixed ... silly me, kept an old EXE on my system and that got mixed in (original source of the problem). Once I had the correct SXB.EXE, I was able to go back and use the LCD file that gave you fits. It uses a neat trick with string constants.

    Again, sorry for my error.
