How to upgrade XC compiler in FC8
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2018 1:55 am
Hi Guys,
Could somebody explain the procedure how to correctly upgrade the XC compiler in FC8?
I downloaded the XC8 compiler from Microchip web site and successfully installed it (version 2.00) however when I execute the compile from FC8 it runs the XC8.exe from FC8 compilers directory, and the version is old (1.45). However it is interesting that all versions of compiler are licenced (I have workstation PRO licence).
My understanding is that the instaling the tool chain installs the compiler and set all configuration in FC8. I'm not understanding if the tool chain contains actual compiler files, or it looks for installation on local PC and then it copy it to FC directory?
What I should do?
Regards,
Igor
