CCS Compiler in LINUX

[collink]

Of course there is a linux version of the CCS compiler. It seems to lag the windows version a bit. As of today the linux version was at 4.107 and the windows version at 4.112.

Today I successfully got the windows version of the compiler to work in LINUX. I was using WINE 1.3.1. I had to add the devices and drivers directories (from the PICC folder) to the project file otherwise the compiler couldn't find them but everything otherwise worked perfectly. I made a build.sh file that directly calls the CCS compiler from right where it resides on the windows partition.

I just thought that some people might like to know that it's possible to use the windows compiler in both windows and linux for all us dual booters.

collink,
That's great!

I have two Linus systems here but have never run the compiler on them.

Thanks for the info!

I have a laptop running on Ubuntu 10.04 and I run Windows XP through VirtualBox, I can run both MPLAB and PCM, PCH (windows versions) very well.

The Pickit3 programmer also works excellent on the system.

thanks

All my work, is done on Mac's. Have run CCS, both in VMWare, and in Parallels without issues.

MPLab and CCS was successfully installed under wine 1.3.1.
All it works with PicStart programmer under Ubuntu 10.04 without any VMWare or VirtualBox.

Awesome! Thanks for the replies everyone. I think it will be helpful for people to be able to find these posts in the future in case they'd like to do the same thing. It's always nice to know what works and what doesn't.

Seems that under wine works all perfectly.
Only when you minimize MPLab window and expand, toolbars change they position, but it's not serious problem.
And one more thing, in wine 1.3.2 bug in msiexec, so you can't install MPLab, use wine 1.3.1.
