I have touched base with my Microchip field applications engineer and he
basically told me that he did find a version that has been ported to
linux, but the owner of the port is very hesitant to let it leave the
company. This doesn't make much sense to me as they offer their IDE for
free for Windows, so a binary copy for linux would be the same
difference as far as intellectual property goes.
I am still hunting for a good linux IDE for coding c microcontroller
projects. I have run across something called the GNAT Programming
studio that I haven't tried yet. Has anyone else given this a shot? I
have tried XEmacs and am just not getting what I need out of it. I'm
quite sure XEmacs is _flexible_ enough to do what I want, it is just a
matter of learning how to do everything (i.e. spend time programming the
IDE). 2 immediate issues are:
1> no color syntax highlighting even when in cc mode
2> don't know how to save custom key bindings from session to session
This email really shot off in several directions, so I apologize for
that. I'm sticking with my original subject line though.
