I hope I am posting this is the right place... I am attempting to integrate the SourceBoost compilers with the (current) latest version of MPLAB X, v1.70. I've been following the instructions found in the MplabX_Plugin.pdf file in the SourceBoost installation. I can get as far as installing the plug-in, but run into problems when attempting to add the toolchain. I put "C:\Program Files\SourceBoost" in the Base Directory input (yes, this is the installation folder - I used the navigation option to find it), but instead of getting options in the Type drop-down, I get an error message that reads "Base directory does not contain a toolchain". Skipping ahead to the next page in the instructions, I see that the compiler line should reference "C:\Program Files\SourceBoost\xlaunch.exe". I have verified that this file does actually exist, so the problem is not that MPLAB can't find it because it doesn't exist. Does anyone know what MPLAB X 1.70 would not recognize it as a toolchain? Thanks!

Hello. I use UBUNTU (LINUX) as an OS and run, using wine, MPLAB IDE 8.5 with a licensed SourceBoost v.6.95 This works fine but is a little slow. No, since Microchip lanced the MPLAB X IDE there is also a version for LINUX and I red that SourceBoost v.7.05 has the drivers to run the program with the new environment. Does this works also on a LINUX (UBUNTU) without fiddling with wine, and did someone install it successfully? ( I can't find any topics). Thanks Martin

Installed MPLAB X version 7.12 Installed the sourceboost 7.05 plugin with no problems Created a project to use a pic12f629 device and the sourceboost C compiler tool chain is not available for the project It appears that the sourceboost compiler is available if a 16 series or 18 series device is selected but not if a 12 series device is selected.
