I want a version of the mplab compiler for Linux.

Bump.

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.

Where can I find this now?

(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

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.

This link is dead:
http://adambots.gotdns.com/adambots-...o/configure.py

But I found this one...
http://adambots.gotdns.com/adambots-...k/configure.py

Ahh.. never mind. I see now that you posted a link to the updated version.

I was getting an error while linking ...

Error - could not find definition of symbol 'Serial_Char_Callback' in file './user_SerialDrv.o'.


But I figured out that the function had been deleted from user_routines_fast.c

It is compiling and linking just fine now.

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.

[114Klutz]

Does 0.9.23 work well? Or does that one also have similar problems?

I don't think we have tried it yet.

Things hosted on adambotslive are gone.

[bagawk]

We have a makefile that originally was made by that script and has been heavily modified. Grab it here: http://www.chsrobotics.com/files/Makefile

It should be fairly self-explanatory.

We have moved all of hour hosting. You can find everything (with Bazaar) at...
http://adambots.gotdns.com/bzr/mcc-wrapper/

Thank you all and keep on trucking.

I got configure.py and mcc-wrapper from adambots' bzr server. I copied mcc18 from our team's programming laptop, and put it into /opt/mcc18. I made symbolic links according to the suggestion earlier in this thread. I edited /opt/mcc18/h/p18cxxx.h. I ran configure.py, and when I run make, I get this error:

Figured out my previous problem. Wine 0.9.22 has problems, so I updated to 0.9.29. Now I get a new error:

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.

[meatmanek]

If we're lucky, SDCC will get support for pic18 soon.

I don't see anything wrong with using wine, though. This is exactly what it's meant for - running windows programs on linux.
