Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

I'm the current maintainer of Linux stuff around here.... You need:

1. WINE
2. MCC18 from Microchip -- it runs under WINE
3. IFI Makefile -- see http://adambots-live.sourceforge.net/
4. Picloader: http://sf.net/projects/ifi-picloader

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Install MCC18 using WINE, or copy from an existing Windows installation, over to /opt/mcc18. This is the path hardcoded into the makefile. Go to the appropriate Sourceforge project linked above, and download the latest ifi-makefile. You may have to browse CVS, as the latest version is awesome but not tested stable.

(Oldish thread warning)

What version(s) of WINE work with the MCC18 compiler? I have 20050725 and get

This happens when running mcc18, so it apparently starts up, then tries to launch mcc18-transitional, but some path translation is broken in the version of WINE I am running.

The version on the SF Adambots-live site is 2004something, and I'd really rather not go that far back... (Getting IE6 working under the current version was a pain; I can't imagine trying it with something older.)

--EDIT--
Oh, yeah, and what purpose do the "Z:"s before some of the paths in the Adambots-live Makefile server? I'm changing it so everything will be under my home directory. Sorry, don't know a bunch about shell scriptiing/makefiles.

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Ok, Three things:

(1) you should link mcc18-traditional to mcc18-traditional.exe using the command [b]ln -sf /opt/mcc18/bin/mcc18-traditional.exe /opt/mcc18/bin/mcc18-traditional. This procedure must be repeated for cpp18 and _mplink.

(2) Check out http://adambots.gotdns.com/adambots-...k/configure.py -- Run "python configure.py" to auto-generate a Makefile within a project folder. Re-run after adding or removing files...

(3) Get the MCC wrapper scripts:
http://adambots.gotdns.com/adambots-...s/mcc-wrapper/

An RPM is available for RPM users; else just copy the three scripts to /usr/local/bin, making sure that they are chmodded +x

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Thanks! It works now.

Just as an FYI for others (although you'll figure it out I'm sure): user_routines.c has an include for user_Serialdrv.h, but it's actually named user_SerialDrv.h. Either rename the file or change the include statement. (I renamed, so it may have been in other places as well.)

I believe I have the new compiler working... (I have yet to test the generated hex file, but I have no reason to believe it to be in error. However, you've been warned. ;))

Install mcc18 compiler to /opt/mcc18.
Do step 1 of jdong's post. (above)
Download the configure.py attached to this post. (I only changed the processor passed to MCC18. May not even be necessary, but just in case...)
Do step 3 of jdong's post.
Edit /opt/mcc18/h/p18cxxx.h and put

Code:

#undef __18F8722 #define __18F8722

starting right after #define _P18CXXX_H

This fix/hack makes compiling for multiple processors difficult (have to change /opt/mcc18/h/p18cxxx.h), but hey... if you're working on FIRST, you're using a certain processor anyways.

Ryan, unfortunately I seem to be getting an error with the linker when I use your configure script. This is the output I get when I do "make" on the default code:

Is there something I need to change in the makefile or configure script, or do you think this is a problem with the mplink wrapper script?

I also wonder whether or not my WINE install might be the problem. I'm running Ubuntu with wine 20050725 (the binary I got using apt-get). Which distro and wine version are you running?

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

First of all you do not need to change anything in the code to get the 2006 code to compile for the 2006 controller, all you have to do is change a couple of things in the make file.

In the Makefile change the PIC to 18F8722 and the ARGS to ARGS=-D_FRC_BOARD -O+ -nw=2066. You do not need to install to /opt/mcc you can install anywere you want. For example I installed into ~/.wine/drive_c/mcc18 if you want to do that change the LIB CODE and INCLUDE paths to where ever you installed. I dont remember if I had to add or take out anything in ALL_TARGETS and INCLUDE_FILES but if you get an error from the linker about a file not being there add it. The reason why the code will fail sometimes is because he has gcc check deps to fix this add -D__$(PIC) to the line starting with cpp. Anyway I probably confused the hell out of everyone so ill post mine below.

Code:

#This is automatically generated by the configure.py script

#Keep your dirty hands off

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Sorry about the delay guys. I'm at Siemens (our build site) with the beloved John Dong right now, we've updated the configure.py script for the '06 stuff.

Put http://adambots.gotdns.com/adambots-...o/configure.py in your project folder, then run it with "python configure.py" to generate Makefiles. Re-run it every time you add/remove c/h files from the project.

Two things, first have you gotten it to load code with the ifi-pictools or have you made code changes to that also? Second, I was thinking why not have the script read the project files from MPLab and use that to set everything(PIC type, CFLAGs, etc)? Once it reads the file it could ask the user if they want to use the ones imported from the file or edit it themselves. I was going to do it myself but I dont have any time(playing with the camera too much heh)

Nevermind. I managed to fix it. Working configure.py attached. Do the above stuff (part 2 was excluded) to get it working. I made it compatible with both RCs, and also made it `make clean` when you run the configure. That can be disabled if you have a slow computer. Set CLEAN near the top to False.

Run ./configure.py old to make it build for the old rc.
Run ./configure.py alltimers to use FRC_alltimers.lib.
You can mix both for the expected effect.

I can't test upload till morning though.

Re: Wine version

We found that mcc18 doesn't work with recent versions of wine. One of the changes made between 0.9.18 and 0.9.19 seems to be the culprit. So you may want to stay with 0.9.18 or older.

Even by workaround standards, wine is a bad solution.

What are possibilities for a native linux port of only the C18 compiler? Perhaps there are volunteers who are willing to help.

That wouldn't be a port. That would be a whole new compiler.

Why? We have no source.

Unless someone wants to convince Microchip that there is a legitimate market for a linux compiler.

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Our team has been using wine with C-18 via under ubuntu (dapper?) for quite some time now. It is the weekend, so I don't have access to the team computer. I will try and gather up all of the needed files and post them to our server next week.

I forget what version of WINE we run, but we really have not bothered to update it in a very long time. When it started to work, we didn't want to mess it up with another update! ;)

Until then, has anybody had luck with the c18 compiler under the latest wine (0.9.48)? Also, I use a macbook intel c2d running leopard 10.5. They have released Darwine 0.9.48. Does anybody use darwine? Can you report your experiences? (I have only had bad ones with darwine in the past.)

My other option, of course, is parallels.. Which I already own. But really, who wants to use windows to program when you have a mac in front of you! (or linux, same point!)

I have 0.9.48 working fine under OS X 10.5 here. I compiled from source, the macports version does not build right now. I tried darwine some time ago (year+), but it never worked well.

Also, the makefile I use is available here: http://team997.org/files/software/Makefile

Should work fine with maybe a couple little modifications.

Yeah, It'd be great if there was some sort of Open Source alternative to MPLAB.

Something that anyone (not just Linux users) could use.

It could be made to be Windows, MAC, AND Linux compatible.

MPLAB is not the problem, you could use anything in place of it (our team uses code::blocks) its the mcc18 compiler that's the issue, its win32 only

I agree wholeheartedly.

There was somebody trying to write and eclipse plugin for FIRST.. Don't know what happened there.. I hope that FIRST takes our requests seriously as they plan the '09 Robot Controller. There is no reason why FIRST can't move to open source. (Unless there are some behind the scenes deals going on! Though I doubt that..) Aaaanyway, best thing to do for now is to either bite the bullet and get a windows box up and running with mplab/c18, or use the makefile/wine/text editor.

personally: I use linux in the lab (we have 2 thinkpads with xubuntu) with the makefile/wine workaround. At home (and sometimes in the lab), I just use VMWare + MPLab on my Macbook. However, I usually edit the text code in OSX and then fire up MPLAB in the lab to load code. While 20GB just for a robot code loader is INSANE (granted I did put autodesk on it), i sometimes forget that I am dealing with operating systems here...

Compiling ifi_utilities.o...

1.   Checking Dependencies for ifi_utilities.o

2.   Launching Compiler...

A thought to keep you occupied:  /bin/sh: /usr/games/fortune: No such file or directory

I'm getting this same exact error. Can anyone help me with this?

By the way I'm using the 2007 FIRST default code to test this.

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

It's been about a year since I touched mcc18 on linux. I did get it working, I can't remember how though, and my linux box is offline for break. I think I had to get in touch with jdong or one of his teammates to get some help. I'll try to help once I get back to my dorm, but that's not going to be until mid january or so.

Our team is planning on switching over from the default code provided by IFI to the WPILib libraries that WPI put together a few years ago. There are instructions on their website on how to use it with Eclipse, though I haven't tried walking through it myself yet.

Could that be the pathlength thing of mcc18? Make a drive letter point directly into your code (or put your code in /tmp for testing) and try it.

The error you are getting means the type of PIC hasn't been defined, so the ifi_utilities.c file can pick the proper system defines that match what the PIC has built into it.

Simply put, you are missing a compile flag (-D__18F8722).

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Could you try the makefile that I wrote? I have been using it for almost 3 years now with no problems.

What version of mcc18 are you using? It looks like it might be the latest version 3.x when it should be v2.4.

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Umm not really sure it's an older version (At least 2004).

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Hi.
I'm trying to compile some new code on a Xubuntu Linux machine.
I've modified the relatively newer makefile in:
http://team997.org/files/software/Makefile
I've modified it according to my needs and it all seemed to work well,
until I tried to remove the intermediate files . when it tries to
complie the source files, it can't get the headers from the include
dir of mcc even tough the path seems right.
I've checked and the syntax used by the Makefile is /i <path> while
mmc18.exe expects -I="<path>".
I tried to change the makefile anyway I thought might work, but could
not get it to work, so I gave up and
I've made a script shell, and it works, but since I'm unfamiliar with
the tricks of Linux shell, it's butt ugly (with lot's of lines like
this: wine c:/mcc18/bin/mcc18.exe -p=18f8722 -I="c:\mcc18\h"
"ifi_frc.c" -fo="ifi_frc.o" -k -mL -Ou- -Ot- -Op- -Or--Od- -Opa-)
So please Chief Delphi! pimp my script!

Re: I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

You don't have to create your own makefile. You can just use this little python program that creates one for you based on the files in your code directory.
