Quick tutorial on how to install and run Wine with CC5X to
compile code in the Linux environment.

For CC8E it is required to replace CC5X with CC8E.


 ***** Thanks to Dr. Kopjak for providing this setup.


First setup MPLAB X on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) according to:

  http://www.bknd.com/files/mplabx-p.txt  - recommended

  http://www.bknd.com/files/mplabx-i.txt  - does not (yet) work with Linux


Modifications required:

1. Install wine:

  sudo apt-get install wine

2. Copy the small shell script (cc5x.dat) to the CC5X directory.

3. Enable execution possibility to the shell script file:

  chmod "a+x" ./cc5x

4. Enable write access to CC5X directory. The write access is needed by MPLABX
   to be able to create deviceSupport.xml and languagetoolchain.xml files.



****************
File "cc5x.dat":
#!/bin/bash
# LINUX - MPLAB X Intergration
# Copy this file to CC5X main directory

CC5X="CC5X.EXE"

SOURCE="${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"
while [ -h "$SOURCE" ]; do # resolve $SOURCE until the file is no longer a symlink
  DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" && pwd )"
  SOURCE="$(readlink "$SOURCE")"
  [[ $SOURCE != /* ]] && SOURCE="$DIR/$SOURCE" # if $SOURCE was a relative symlink, we need to resolve it relative to the path where the symlink file was located
done
DIR="$( cd -P "$( dirname "$SOURCE" )" && pwd )"

CC5X_PATH=$DIR"/"$CC5X

wine $CC5X_PATH $@
