MPLAB on Linux
 

(Originally Posted in IT/Technical)

I seem to be having trouble running MPLAB on linux using the newest wine. I have seen it running on some laptops at competitions running linux, and am very curious. If anyone can help me please do so!

It seems to be working fine with CrossOver office.

I was able to install the C18 compiler through Wine but the IDE complains because IE is not installed. I'll try installing IE. However, there may be a way to play with the registry and trick the MPLAB installer into thinking that IE is installed.

I have it running well, but it's very hard to troubleshoot your problem if you don't tell us what it is. Error messages/symptoms/problems? I don't use the IDE, just wine for the compiler and a few makefiles (thanks jdong!)

Works great for me.

The newest CrossOver has IE 6 compatibility. If you install IE via CO you should be able to install at least MPLAB 6.00. Thats what I have discovered so far..

But if I try to execute it, the boot splash freezes. *shame*

Well wince the compiler works fine under wine/cedega/crossover why not just use a native Linux IDE like kdevelop and point the C compiler to wine /path/to/mcc.exe? Personally I really dont like the MPLAB IDE.

Just use Makefiles & MCC through WINE. That way, you can program with your favorite Linux tool, whether it be KDevelop or vim.
