I am working on a PIC24 project, and I went to the project folder and moved a file to another directory inside the project folder, however, I got a makefile error. I created a new project and copied the source codes into the project I still get the same error.

make -f nbproject/Makefile-default.mk SUBPROJECTS= .build-conf
make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/forat/MPLABXProjects/SerialComm_2_Micros_2.X'
make  -f nbproject/Makefile-default.mk dist/default/production/SerialComm_2_Micros_2.X.production.hex
make[2]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/forat/MPLABXProjects/SerialComm_2_Micros_2.X'

nbproject/Makefile-impl.mk:39: recipe for target '.build-impl' failed

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 1s)

Can someone help me, into why I got this error, I thought since it is not a syntax error, then if I create a new project and copied and pasted the code, I won't have this error.

I created a test project with a simple c code, and it got built successfully without any issues, it is only with my project that I got this error.

Your help is appreciated.

EDIT SOLUTION

Hi guys,

in the error, it mentions the problem is with System.o I deleted the file System.h and created a new one with the same name and copied the code in it, the error disappeared when I build it.

Thank you guys for your help.

    When you copy and compile an existing project MPLAB X fails. MPLAB X can not copy compile options properly, sometimes. Try to create a new blank project and copy your files separately. It worked on me before. – ExpinElectronics Oct 07 '20 at 12:04
  • Tell MPLAB to 'clean' the project before you 'make' it. – brhans Oct 07 '20 at 12:05

    @brhans, I right-clicked on the project, cleaned it, and build it, I still get the same error. Is that what you mean by cleaning the project? Thanks – Embedded_Dude Oct 07 '20 at 22:58
  • @CCA I didn't copy an existing project, before getting messed up, all the individual project files were in GitHub, I simply created a new project, gave it a different name, created the c source files and h header files, and copied the code in GitHub into their associated source/header files – Embedded_Dude Oct 07 '20 at 22:59
  • Try to remove all your files from the project and then add them back. Be sure there are only .c files under `Source Files` – Mike Oct 09 '20 at 08:34

  • @Mike Thank you Mike, I read the error it mentions "System.o" the file named System is System.h, I deleted and created a new file with the same name, and copied the code in it, the project got no errors when I build it. – Embedded_Dude Oct 10 '20 at 03:21
