I am using a Ubuntu 8.04 kept up to date, wine version is from the Ubuntu repository installed via Synaptic, currently at version 1.0.0-1. I've still to fix a few dialog boxes that complain about legacy language suites not found at startup, but at the moment just click through them. I have the CCS PCM compiler installed also, and MPLab picked it up on installation. My main reason for having MPLab avail under linux is access to old projects, having them all listed in the project manager window, allows quick reference access. NOTE: One problem that was fairly major, after I enabled tabbed windows for the editor and restarted, the first code window opened crashed the program. (bad if you have automatically opening default projects.) The fix without razing the installation is start regedit under wine (browse the C_drive find regedit in windows) search for 'TabbedWindow' and set to 0. Still no USB access to hardware, but all compilation and simulation functions. I also use PikLab with an ICD2, much less pain! Andrew Burchill

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I haven't tested it really, but MPLAB 8.14 installed fine under stock Wine 1.1.0 with NO extra libraries. It mutters about a couple of missing CLSIDs on startup, but appears to work after that (but as I said, I haven't given it much testing, pretty much just started it and closed it).

OK, I'll try that!

Pretty good! It did complain a little on startup, but I just compiled a fairly large C18 project. Next I'll try a 24H project.

I tried this long ago. http://forum.microchip.com/tm.aspx?m=112347 In the end, I think you can use this methods if you are not using the hardware components of MPLAB. If you plan to use the hardware components of MPLAB, using Virtual Machine is the way to go. Or IMHO use dual boot and Windows XP is a better option. Xiaofan
