ChipMan, for the future, use the AdBlock extension for Chrome or Firefox. That should help you with the popups generated by the free file hosting sites.

Reupload: MEGA link for the fix is attached.

Mars1,

I copied the xclm.exe to bin folder but on compiling the project i get this message. I am using xc16 1.33

elf-cc1.exe: warning: Attempt to override license manager detected

ChipMan, I don't have the XC16 installed at the moment in my PC and I am sure that you already read around about the following things but it doesn't hurt to make sure that:

- you move the original xclm.exe from the BIN folder, somewhere else; then you rename it from xclm.exe to xclm.old;
- in the same location where you now have xclm.old, you copy the "fixed" xclm.exe;
- now, you move both files ("fixed" xclm.exe and xclm.old) back to the BIN folder from the compiler installation folder;
- you open a Command Prompt as Administrator in the folder BIN of the XC compiler and you run xclm.exe; you will see a bunch of messages that files are patched;

I am not sure if it is needed anymore, but at some point there was a need to copy the "fixed" xclm.exe also to the BIN folder from the MPLABX installation folder.

LE: Given the message received, you may need to completely uninstall the XC16 compiler, clean the leftover folders and then reinstall and follow the above procedure.

The url in the file doesnt work. Can anyone provide the files in a zip? Someone who already downloaded?
Ah sorry i didnt saw the second file with the second url. Now i have the exe and i shall try to patch xc8.

So no success. on 1.43. i will try later.


Ok i got the patch working. when I build the project its says:
Microchip MPLAB XC8 C Compiler (PRO Mode) V1.43
But i am having the same bug that i have on 1.10 " fixup overflow referencing psect bssBANK1 ".
In free mode the code doese compile and it works perfectly. with this patch and crack it dosent. So i guess i have to switch back to free mode.

Medicine does not seem to work on Mac OS X (High Sierra 10.13.5) for XC8 v2.00 (clean install). When running the patch it reports "Nothing to do".
It worked fine on XC8 v1.45 using the same procedure.

Patch is not finding the files to patch; copy xclm.old and xclm.exe up one level and try again.

Thanks! that did the trick! I copied both files to the V2.00 folder (and also left a copy in the 'bin' folder) and the patch worked as before.

Link in sticky does not work anymore:

"""Possible causes of this error could be:

    The file expired
    The file was deleted by its owner
    The file was deleted by administration because it didn't comply with our Terms of Use"""

Does the Medecine reside elsewhere so I can try it?

I already reposted the file in this post from 2017:

It's still up and working with the latest compilers.

I saw that, but that one contains only the windows-version. I'm on Linux, that's why I asked for the original one.
