Hi

I’m using ccs 5.008 vet.
I compile 1 c file with main function and multiple h files (I include them) and everything is great!
When I’m adding c file to the source section (even if i empty without any code) I get problem compile the project.
The error is about the production hex file.

This is probably because CCS is a single pass compiler. You will need to put that file in your headers and #include it in your main c source file. You can look at the examples in the examples folder to see how they did that.

Yes.

That you are referring to a 'source section', implies you are using MPLAB.
In MPLAB, _only_ the main .c file should be put into this.
Every other file (whether .c, or .h), must be put into the 'headers' section.

MPLAB 'assumes' it is using a linker, rather than a single pass compiler.
So it assumes every .c file is separately compiled.
