devc++ uses GCC as the compiler, which will not compile for our pic18 target. It may be possible to change the default compiler to use Microchip's C18 as the compiler. Then you could use devc++ as your IDE and C18 as your compiler.

Are you sure the problem is with the MPLAB IDE and not with the C18 compiler?

yeah i already figured out that i would have to change the compiler, i kindof did that, but i was hoping that maybe someone would tell me what the minimal configurations are, like what flags to send to the compiler, so that it works and i'll take it from there......
