5.7 SETTING UP LANGUAGE TOOLS

Step Two of the Project Wizard sets up the language tools that are used with this

project. Make sure the “Show all installed toolsuites” checkbox is checked. Select

Microchip PIC32 C Compiler Toolsuite in the Active Toolsuite list box.

Then “MPLAB PIC32 Assembler (PIC32-as.exe)”, “MPLAB PIC32 C Compiler

(PIC32-gcc.exe)”, “MPLAB PIC32 Object Linker (PIC32-ld.exe)”, and “MPLAB PIC32

Archiver (PIC32-ar.exe)”, should be visible in the Toolsuite Contents box. Click on each

one to see its location. If MPLAB IDE was installed into the default directory, the paths

for these files will be:

• for the MPLAB PIC32 assembler:

- C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ MPLAB

C32\bin\PIC32-as.exe

• for the MPLAB PIC32 compiler:

- C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ MPLAB C32\bin\

PIC32-gcc.exe

• for the MPLAB PIC32 Object Linker:

- C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ MPLAB

C32\bin\PIC32-ld.exe

• for the MPLAB PIC32 Archiver:

- C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ MPLAB

C32\bin\PIC32-ar.exe

If these paths do not show up correctly, use the Browse button to set them to the proper

files in the MPLAB IDE subfolders.

When you are finished, click Next>.
