I am a long-time assembler guy in 8051's and PICs, and just got my new Keil C51 IDE package. I am, not fluent in 'C' or Keil tools (yet). I have to look at someone else's existing code and compile it, but I get errors after loading their project and trying a build. Since I am new to the tool set, I am stumped on figuring out what is wrong. Is anyone out there who would take this set of files and help me figure out how ot get it to compile, or what is missing, for a fee? I could send the files and maybe you could help me understand what is wrong or missing? If I was more fluent with the tool set, I could get there myself, but time is critical. Can anyone help? (If this is posed in the wrong place, please forgive me!) Chris
For doing File compares I recommend the Program "Beyond Compare". Free to try, cheap to buy.
A file compare utility is invaluable for sorting out what is different. In a sense you are stuck unless you can build the code and get the same checksum. Otherwise you can not be sure you have the latest code. Or if the latest code is not what you are shipping. the littlest thing can change the checksum, including not using the exact compiler version.
Plus many (D)VCS tools allow it to be configured as the (superior) visual diff tool.
