Let’s verify your compiler works. Create a file blink.c:

#include <htc.h>
__CONFIG(HS & WDTDIS & PWRTEN & BOREN & LVPDIS);
void main(void) 
TRISB = 0x00;      // PORTB as output
while(1) 
PORTB = 0xFF;  // All LEDs ON
delay_ms(500);
PORTB = 0x00;  // All LEDs OFF
delay_ms(500);

Compile:

picc --chip=16F877A blink.c -O --OUTDIR=output

The compiler generates:
