Can't locate 'compiled.hex' and other saved files

[James Leavy]

I'm running Great Cow on a win7 laptop. I drag the demo program to the gcbasic, there is a quick flash of the gcbasic app (black block), but I can't locate the compiled.hex file.

Also, when I select my controller and processor speed, and save the demo program with another name it doesn't show up. When I select 'open' it appears on the list - please advise!

Hello,
I recommend that you use the SYN@IDE as the will manage the process much better than a drag and drop operation.

See the readme's for more information.

Anobium,
You are referring to the GCB@Syn IDE download available on the GC homepage?
Thanks!

[Anobium]

Yes. My error.

[James Leavy]

OK Thanks - newbie here - just wanted to be sure. Thanks again!

[Anobium]

Pleasure. Please do not hesitate to ask.

I do not use the IDE (I started using GCB before that option was available).
I drag onto the compile.bat.

There are two possible problems:
1. The BAT file deletes the HEX file
2. The directory (where the HEX file goes) is not set to GCBASIC.

Anyway here is the BAT file I use (note the delete lines have been REMed)

@ECHO OFF
C:
cd \GCBASIC

GCBASIC /NC %1 /O:compiled.asm
C:\gputils\bin\gpasm -i -w2 compiled.asm >compiled.err
del compiled.cod >nul
C:\winpic\winpic.exe compiled.hex
cd \GCBASIC
rem del compiled.hex
rem del compiled.lst
rem del compiled.err
