MPLabX 4.00 giving 'recipe failed' error with Chameleon.

[chuckj 0]

Using BoostC 7.43 on MPLabX 4.00 on Windows 7 with PIC18F25K22.

I newly installed version 7.43, standard BoostC compile works fine.

I presume that the Chameleon compiler supports the PIC18F25K22.

When I add -force_chameleon to compiler additional options, I get this result:

I cut the program down to nearly nothing, just a Main routine(see attached).

Any ideas?

GPS.c

Repeated test with MPLabX v5.15 and default C  program generated by MPLabX.

Results are the same as detailed in previous post - compiles fine with BoostC, using Chameleon compiler fails with 'recipe for target xxx failed' error.

Error refers to line 101 of nbproject/Makefile-default.mk file which I have attached to this post.

Has anyone else seen this?

Makefile-default.mk

PROBLEM SOLVED, my PC needed msvcp120.dll from the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013.

I have a 64 bit computer, so I installed both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions as recommended by Microsoft.

I discovered the need for this dll by running the Chameleon compiler via c_pic18.exe command line interface.

Hope this helps someone with a similar problem...
