HI all - I am currently studing electrical engineering at technikon. One of our subjects requires us to code and program the pic16f877 using MPLAB.
A few months ago i have repented, and started using Linux Mandrake.
I have stopped programming in C with Visual Basic and have started to code and compile using GCC. I was wondering if there was a GCC or something similar that i could use to code and program the pic16f877
basically i am looking for the linux equivalent of MPLAB - can anyone help ?
There are C compilers for the PIC series, but they have an odd architecture that makes a port of GCC for them difficult. I have not checked in a few months, but I dont think there is a gcc for the pic parts.
that does not sound hopefull
but surly there must be something i can use in linux that will do the same job as MPLAB
i have been looking and ill keep looking but my search wil be alot easier if someone had the name of a linux program

There's nothing like MPLAB (as far as I know), but there are PIC assemblers that run under Linux, and also at least one PIC programmer. Sorry, I've no idea of names as I don't run Linux - if you look on the PICList I seem to remember there's a bit about Linux.
I have an idea - i am gonna try run MPLAB in linux with the use of wine.
I am still quite new with linux so i still have to teach myself how to install and use wine

I do all my PIC stuff exclusivly on Linux although I do stick to asm.
Get the latest version of gputils for the compiler, gpsim for the simulator and there are lots of programmers available like prog84, picprg etc...
