Help needed using MikroC with PicKit 3

[elecgirl88]

Hi guys, i recently found a program called MikroC Pro and im using it with a PIC18F4520.
Im just not sure how to program my micro because im getting a really wierd error. i ran the exact code the first time and it compiled successfully, now when i tried compiling it again, im getting an error "main function not defined"

please could u check out my code and tell me what im doing wrong

thanx

Hmm, looks OK at first, second and third glance.

Why is the prototype for main() commented out? Hard to see why it would be needed, but I'm not familiar with this compiler.

There's a utility called "lint" that you can run code through before compiling to catch errors, problems, "gotchas". You might try looking for a copy of this.

Other than that, seems like you might have a mismatched set of braces somewhere, but I sure couldn't find it ...

Given that main is included in your program maybe you are not including this file as part of the project.

its just a single program file so everything is included here, i just wrote a short script to test my iButton reader. and the exact code compiled perfectly b4, i even reinstalled MikroC and theres still an error.

Fixed the immediate problem in chat. She had not included he source file in the project.
