Problem getting started with Proteus 8 & Keil

[fennelly]

Hi,

I have just recently installed Proteus 8.0 SP2. I immediately tried to create a small program to flash an LED using an 8052.
Unfortunately I get the following error message when I try to build the program from within the Proteus IDE.

> “RunTool.exe” is not recognized as an external or internal command.

Keil C51 is selected as the compiler to be used. The Keil C51 compiler is installed on the machine.
The program compiles without a problem when a project created in Keil . I am using Keil C51 V9.02 & BL51 V6.22. These are a few years old.

I tried it on a machine running XP and on a machine running Windows 7. Behaved exactly the same.

The error message is probably as a result of a simple configuration error. Any ideas ?

Regards

Hi

I am still encountering problems using Proteus 8 with Keil C51.

I used the debug folder which was sent to me and it did indeed simulate.

I copied the XML file which was sent to me to the appropriate folder.
Good news is that the C51 program will now compile.
Bad news is that an error is generated during linking.
The error message is shown below. (I was not allowed upload as a .txt file ?)

I downloaded SDCC and used it to build the same project without a problem.

Can you have another look at this please.


Regards

Frank F.

The SDCC is a different compiler so that's another story.

About Keil compiler it looks as though you don't have the library file C51S.LIB (small memory) into the folder C:\KEIL\C51\LIB.
If that's the case you need to reinstall your KEIL compiler.
Another reason might be that you have installed your KEIL into a non standard location or have moved files or directories.
Try to 'Check All' compilers with 'Compilers Configuration' tool under System menu.

Anyway, I have tried to compile the file BLINKY under C:\KEIL\C51\EXAMPLES and it compiles and links correctly.
My Keil linker is exactly as the your, BL51 V6.22.
