Re: FIRST Programming on Macs

Hey Bryce,

Unfortunately, Microchip has only released x86 binaries for the compiler. As far as I know, all of the tools Linux guys use can be built on OS X, with the exception of the complier (because that depends on WINE). Everything does however work flawlessly under Virtual PC. If you don't want to use that, there are three options that I can see, in decreasing order of likelihood:
  • Wait for Intel Macs to come out (probably January)
  • Wait for Microchip to build their compiler for PowerPC
  • Wait for someone else to write an open-source mcc18-compatible compiler

If anyone knows about anything else, do share
