Warning: Some configuration words not in hex file

[Byte_Butcher]

Once again I seen to be stuck in a state of cluelessness.

I'm trying to program a 16F887 and my PICkit2 keeps tossing me this message:
"Warning: Some configuration words not in hex file"

Here's my configuration line:
@ __CONFIG _CONFIG1, _LVP_OFF & _FCMEN_OFF & _IESO_OFF & _BOR_OFF & _CPD_OFF & _CP_OFF & _MCLRE_ON & _PWRTE_ON & _WDT_OFF & _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT

I have commented out the lines in the 16F887.INC file so there's no conflict there.

My program actually seems to work OK, but I don't understand the PICkit error message.

I'm also confused about why the configuration words don't really match the words in the M16F88X.INC file....

Here's the relevant bits of M16F88X.INC. Note that it clearly lists the 16F887 as one of it's happy devices. But if I spell some of the words the way it's done there it gets unhappy with me.

So, note the differences in my config line, vs the .INC file, like MCLRE_ON instead of MCLR_ON, and PWRTE_ON vs PWRT_ON, and PROTECT_ON vs CP_ON.
If I use them like they are shown in the .INC file, then I get error messages about "Symbol not previously defined". I

What's going on? Am I using the wrong .INC file somehow? It clearly has PIC16F887 listed as one of it's happy devices.
And yes, the little box in the upper left corner of MCS definitely says "16F887"

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong before my head explodes....

Thanks much for any insight

It's just reminding you that you haven't set _CONFIG2, which defaults to the following ...

@  __CONFIG _CONFIG2, _WRT_OFF & _BOR40V

But it you actually declare them, the warning will go away.

The M16F88X.INC is for the PM assembler.
But since you are using __CONFIG, you must be using MPASM.

In the C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite folder,
the P16F887.inc file will have the correct config bit names.

Duhhhh! MPASM! I'm looking in the wrong include file!

Darrel, if we ever meet, I'm buying the first (and second) round of beers.
Once again you've kept me from smashing my forehead to jelly against this wall...

THANK YOU!
