Cant build chipKit Project

Hi Guys.

I have a particular chipKit (PIC32) project witch can't be build by Visual Micro for Arduino.
The project contains a lot of c++ libraries and includes.

My Develop Environment is.....

Windows 7 Professional SP 1 
Visual Studio 2010 Version: 10.0.40219.1 SP1
Visual Micro Version: 14.07.1001
MPIDE Version: 0023 for Windows 20140316

I've got the following Error Message:
Couldn't determine program size information: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden
   bei System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
   bei System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
   bei processing.app.debug.Sizer.computeSizeInfoELF(String args)0

If I switch the MPIDE to 0023 for Windows 20140605-test (on the same machine), I've got the following, different Error Message:
ld.exe Error*:A heap is required, but has not been specified
core.a(WSystem.c.o)*:In function `initIntVector'
WSystem.c:undefined reference to `_image_header_info'
WSystem.c:undefined reference to `_image_header_info'
collect2*:ld returned 1 exit status
Error creating .elf

It is possible to build this particular project on both MPIDEs Versions (without Visual Studio/Visual Micro)

Any ideas?

Hi,

The VisualMicro/MpIde error is when attempting to get the size of the compiled program. This normally means the compilation was okay and an arduino program was created.

Please switch on "tools>visual micro>verbose messages" then try the build again then post the output of the latter part of the output at least

Please also switch on tools>options>visual micro>compiler>show build folder"

Thanks

Thanks for the output. 

It shows the program compiled okay but then failed to establish a memory report.

Binary sketch size: 133.384 bytes (used 26% of a 520.192 byte maximum) (13,42 secs)

Did you switch on the detailed memory usage report project property? If so then please switch it off because it doesn't seem to be support for chipKit at the moment

Thanks






In the meantime you might be able to use "Project>upload last sketch build" menu item to upload or make use of the file>preferences>external editor checkbox in the mpide.

Hi Tim,

you are right.
I've switched the property off and all is fine.

Thanks.
