Hey everyone!

GUESS WHAT?!

After a few error message wine-0.9.44 SUPPORTS MPLAB! Managed to get it to load a project, compile, and everything!!

HOOOOOORAY!!! Linux users REJOICE!

Note: this is just for loading, editing, and compiling. No idea if the debugger functions or anything else works.

Is it officially supported by WineHQ?

I have been able to run mplab on wine and wine derivatives for at least a couple of years.

I expect someone to update it shortly after they test it to see what works and what doesnt. Once I get home I will be testing it on my computer. Hopefully we can post good bug reports and it will become supported even better.

Well I installed MPLAB IDE back at 0.9.26 and I've attempted to run it every version since then (reinstalled it every couple of versions as well).

I didn't realize that anyone had been able to run the IDE. I knew that all the separate executables and linking utilities worked separately worked, but the IDE seemed to fail.

I run debian etch and I compiled wine myself so I don't know if it'll work for everyone. Looking at the website it seems it's been working for sometime, though it's only just begun working in 0.9.44 for me.

I would say its nice for people who are just moving to Linux and dont want to give up something that they have gotten used to.

Oooooh, what a tedious member registration procedure! I didn't know answer to 2 questions and could not read one captcha image letters. Registered after 4th attempt. Uf!

Anyway, I'm here and I would like to know what are these Linux native tools better than MPLAB. I'm using MPLAB extensively and have Window$ installed only because of it. :D Help!

Umm.. Thats cool and all, but why would you go out of your way to install something that may not work very well on an unsupported OS? I find no reasons to switch to this from the mcc18/wine/configure.py combo. If MPLAB ever made a linux native MPLAB, or winehq supported it, I would use it.
Cool nonetheless! This can only be good for linux and all of its users!:D
