I downloaded FreeRTOS and also C18 compiler from Microchip (Student edition, but should be full-featured for 60 days).

I wanted to run "rtosdemo1". I saved downloaded unzipped files to FreeRTOS directory on C drive. I also changed "dir_lib" path in "rtosdemo1.mcp" to point into my "MCC18" directory.

When i tried to compile demo the MPLAB returned these messages in output window:

Clean: Deleting intermediary and output files.
Clean: Deleted file "C:\FreeRTOS\Demo\PIC18_MPLAB\rtosdemo1.mcp".
Clean: Done.
BUILD FAILED: Sun Dec 02 20:18:37 2007

Please, can somebody give me advice what should i check.

My configuration:

WinXP SP2
MPLAB v7.30
C18 Student edition, v3.14 (2 days after installation)
FreeRTOS v4.6.1

That does not look good.  The mcp file is the project isnt it?  Did you change the paths in the project file as using a text edit as described on the doc page?  You could try MPLAB 8 in case the project is in this format.

Yes, *mcp is the project file… strange message…

when i tried "Build All" again then MPLAB output was only:

Clean: Deleting intermediary and output files.
Clean: Done.
BUILD FAILED: Sun Dec 02 20:18:37 2007

I tried edit *.mcp file as decribed on the doc page, but i changed just "dir_lib" path (all other path were defined relative to current directory)

I will try download newer MPLAB, thanks for suggestion.

thanks again for suggestion, in MPLAB 8 it works OK.
