[Quantum Leaps]

As already explained in Bug #90, it seems that you are trying to build the example with an incomplete QP/C library.

Specifically, as described in the Release Notes for QP/C 5.x, this version of QP/C library must contain additional files: qa_ctor.c and qma_ctor.c. These two files seem to be missing in the QP/C library that you are using.

This problem is not really a bug, but rather a misunderstanding of the backwards-compatibility of QP/C ports. The issue will be fixed once the PIC24/dsPIC port will be updated for QP/C 5.x.

This problem is no longer tracked, as PIC24 is no longer officially supported.
The PIC24 port and examples have been moved to the legacy QDKs.
