sscanf compile problem

[ac34856]

I've tried to compile this code below with the test program and first version of sscanf, but get the error in the the header file :-

*** Error 23 "C:\SSCANF\18F4620.h" Line 2(8,9): Can not change device type this far into the code

The original posting is below:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20225&highlight=sscanf

The error is related to this line in the header file for PIC4620
#device PIC18F4620 <- Error is with this statement
#nolist

Compiler is Version 4.088, anyone know what the problem is ?

No that wasnt it - a long list of errors still related to the header file.
Reinstalled compiler V4.088

I don't have vs. 4.088. I have 4.087 and 4.089 and it compiled with
no errors with those versions.

Look at line 188 in 18F4620.h (or a few lines before) and see if you
notice anything wrong.

Damned annoying but I managed to compile it in the end.
Might be some issue with MPLab

Thanks for your reply though.

I'd suspect the problem is the old 'favourite', of including the files in the project.
Basically, in MPLAB, you must _not_ include the 'include' files, in the main project. If you do, MPLAB, tries to compile each of these separately, which doesn't work, since many depend on values being set by their 'host' file. Only the actual 'core' source file should be in the project itself, then the compiler loads the other include files as needed.

Best Wishes

Yes that was part of the problem .... very annoying.
