Hey mister_electronico.

Definitely I'm not a hardware_guy, but out of curiosity I downloaded mplabx-ide-v1.10-linux-installer.run and it installs and seems to work (whatever it really does ) fine, at least in my Lupuplus-528.005.

.run files usually are kind of self-executable archives/installers.

First of all, make sure that the file is set to be executable - open terminal window in a folder where the file is and:

Hi SFR thanks for you reply.

Yes I did it :

chmod +x mplabx-ide-v1.10-linux-installer.run

but when I did

./mplabx-ide-v1.10-linux-installer.run

nothing happens, gjves no message.

Maybe the problem is a frugal instalation and I am working with slacko puppy 5.31.

Or maybe I need some program for work .run flies.

Ok I'll checkit with puppy 5.28

Thanks SFR

I got install MPLABX at last, I'd download Lupuplus-528.005 and I'd installed (frugal) , and later Install MPLABX but had problem with the size of pubsave, and then resize to 1024 Mb.

Install again like you did and then load the program perfect :

I made Icon_desktop for MPLAB with executable path like you said:

/usr/share/applications/mplab.desktop

The icon I used is in:

/opt/microchip/mplabx/mplab_ide/etc/mchplog48.ico

I not have any problem in load the program know so thank you very much SFR.

But when I run the program I have a problem, I can't build the project because the program said me no can't find the command "make".

I check in Google and nothing find so I think is difficult get works a big program like MPLABX in linux, because the same thing happen in Debian...

Anyway thanks againg SFR ... Greeatings|

Hi, good to see there is some progress.

[mister_electronico]

Hi SFR, the problem the command of make in not the "make" belong to the C compiler, I think is a "make" of MPLABX command. I think so,
because the program can't find this command when have to build one project.

Anyway I'll try with lupu_devx_528-4.sfs.

I need take a rest because is hard install MPLABX in linux, and I had installed Kicad too and I have problems too.

The first problem is there aren't too much information about this programs in Internet.

Thanks SFR I'll tell you my progress when I'll get it.
