µVISION1: Setting up the PL/M-51 Compiler

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 5.50

QUESTION

I have a project which contains a PL/M-51 file, however, when µVision attempts to call the compiler, I get the following:

Could not execute translator

How do I tell µVision where the PL/M-51 compiler is located?

ANSWER

Copy the PLM51.EXE file into the C51\BIN directory. There are also a couple of .LIB library files that the PL/M-51 compiler requires. These should be placed in the C51\LIB directory.
