Re: Running MPLAB and JEDIVCS under Gutsy-based Linux Distributions?
Just a note, today we tried installing MPlab on an Ubuntu Gutsy box (PIII ~800 mhz, 256mb ram), and its seems to work rather well (5 error messages at start). I installed it from the cd included in the kitOfParts. Followed the included instructions, set PATH and all (in the installer, not sure if it took real effect), but I did not install the IFI loader, thinking that it would be better to use the linux port (instead of wine).
Just to show to it could work on wine without anything special.
However, I have not yet compiled.
I know that many have claimed that it works, but people tend to exaggerate the whole "Sure it works on wine!" thing.

We may move to another ide after we try some test code.
