How do I create a new project in MPLAB IDE which uses a HI-TECH C compiler?
The easiest way to create a new project in MPLAB IDE is to use the Project Wizard selectable from the Project menu. Make sure you select the HI-TECH Universal toolsuite for all modern HI-TECH compilers. The compiler location is not used and should be left as it appears in the field, even if it is wrong. You select the compiler to use for a project from the Build Options dialog once you have created the project. See the webinar: http://techtrain.microchip.com/webseminars/ArchivedDetail.aspx?Active=193 for detailed information on the toolsuite and creating projects.
