LCD.h compiler problems

[bss1]

Hi Guys,
Still new to GCB, so I need a Little help.

Following program returns a compiler error:

"Error in library lcd.h: Invalide variable type: LONG"

This error is written four times!

Maybe I need to change in the lcd.h file, but I'm not sure what to change

;Chip Settings
(#)chip 16F886,8
(#)config DEBUG=OFF, LVP=OFF, FCMEN=OFF, IESO=OFF, BOR=OFF, CPD=OFF, CP=OFF, MCLRE=OFF, PWRTE=OFF, WDT=OFF, OSC=INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT, WRT=OFF

;Include files (Libraries)
(#)include "encoder.h"
(#)include "lcd.h"

;Defines (Constants)
(#)define LCD_IO 4
(#)define LCD_RS PortB.0 ;LCD Register Select on pin 8
(#)define LCD_Enable PortB.1 ;LCD Enable on pin 9
(#)define LCD_DB4 PortB.2
(#)define LCD_DB5 PortB.3
(#)define LCD_DB6 PortB.4
(#)define LCD_DB7 PortB.5 on pin 13(#)define LCD_NO_RW1 ;ground the RW line on LCD
(#)define ENCODER_A PortB.6 ;sometimes called CLK
(#)define ENCODER_B PortB.7 ;sometimes called DT
(#)define ENCODER_SW PortA.0 ;the central switch

;Variables
Dim value, latched As integer

lcdcmd 40 ;2-line LCD mode
value = 0 ;begin encoder at 0
latched = 0
Do Forever
encoder(value, latched, 100) ;between 0 and 100, inclusive
locate 0,0 ;print current value
print "Current: "
print value
print " "
locate 1,0 ;print the latched value
print "Latched: "
print latched
print " "
loop

Thanks!

We can help.

I need encoder.h and the source. As the (#) and the posting process means there may be errors in the posting that may be causing other issues.

Post as a zip.

However, define LCD_DB7 PortB.5 on pin 13 is missing a semi-colon.

Thanks,
Here is the Zip's
I needed to put parantheses on the (#) as the text otherwise would become very large in here!
I'm aware of the missing semi-colon, my fault during edit, sorry!

1) Download the Latest LCD.H and copy it to the greatcowbasic/include/lowlevel folder
https://sourceforge.net/p/gcbasic/code/HEAD/tree/GCBASIC/trunk/include/lowlevel/lcd.h?format=raw

2) Copy encoder.h to the greatcowbasic/include folder

3) Use < > instead of quotes to include encoder.h in the main program

4) Do not include LCD.H in the program. Any library that is in the lowlevel folder and listed in the /include/lowlevel.dat file is automatically included.

5) correct formatting error in program

When I did the above, the program below compiles without error.

;Chip Settings
 #chip 16F886,8
 #config DEBUG=OFF, LVP=OFF, FCMEN=OFF, IESO=OFF, BOR=OFF, CPD=OFF
 #config CP=OFF, MCLRE=OFF, PWRTE=OFF, WDT=OFF, OSC=INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT, WRT=OFF

 ;Include files (Libraries)
 #include <encoder.h>

 #define LCD_IO 4
 #define LCD_RS PortB.0      ;LCD Register Select on pin 8
 #define LCD_Enable PortB.1  ;LCD Enable on pin 9
 #define LCD_DB4 PortB.2
 #define LCD_DB5 PortB.3
 #define LCD_DB6 PortB.4
 #define LCD_DB7 PortB.5     ;on pin 13
 #define LCD_NO_RW           ;ground the RW line
 #define ENCODER_A PortB.6   ;sometimes called CLK
 #define ENCODER_B PortB.7   ;sometimes called DT
 #define ENCODER_SW PortA.0  ;the central switch

 ;Variables
 Dim value, latched As integer

 ;lcdcmd 40 ;2-line LCD mode (not necessary default is 2- line)

 value = 0          ;begin encoder at 0
 latched = 0
 Do Forever
    encoder(value, latched, 100)   ;between 0 and 100, inclusive
    locate 0,0                     ;print current value
    print "Current: "
    print value
    print " "
    locate 1,0                     ;print the latched value
    print "Latched: "
    print latched
    print " "
 loop

Done the above mentioned, still the GCB compiler returns the fault.

I've tried to install the GCB@syn and compile through this, this time this error appears:

LCDENC.gcb (27): Error: Array/Function ENCODER has not been declared
LCDENC.gcb (27): Error: Syntax Error

The message has been logged to the file Errors.txt.

Forget about this, after copying the .h file to the gcb@syn folder it Works.

But still, how come that I get the errors in GCB graphical when I compile and not in the GCB@syn?

Thanks to both of you.... I like this program more and more...
