Hot to install mplab in linux whith wine

First, install and configure wine. (apt-get,aptitude, compile, etc)

if you wine is ok get this mplab 7.40 package:
http://kof.asbyte.com.br/mplab-7.40_ie6-wine.tar.bz2

This file contains 60Mb.

Copy in your home directory:

cd ~
wget  http://kof.asbyte.com.br/mplab-7.40_ie6-wine.tar.bz2
tar xjvf mplab-7.40_ie6-wine.tar.bz2

cd mplab

../mplab.sh # run mplab an have a nice day

The secret is the Internet Explorer libs. The mplab not run (install)
without IE6.

In this package the IE6 is included.

The directory ~/mplab contains 2 scripts.
mplab.sh - run mplab
ie6.sh - run Internet Explorer in linux.

You may upgrade mplab:
copy the setup.exe in  ~/mplab/programs/drive_c/
run in the the shell command:

WINEPREFIX="$(echo ~)/mplab/programs" wine "C:\setup.exe"


Tested and run in Slackware v10, v11,v12, Debian 4 and in my FreeBSD 7.0.

Excuse-me,  my english is poor.

Thanks, will try this out this evening - at the moment I am running MPLAB on
VirtualBox but maybe this is even better solution.

I can confirm this does work, using the standard download
from the Microchip MPLAB links (last used 8.01).
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!
