linux pic sdcc debian

Howto install "sdcc" over Debian Etch

Basically there are two possibility:

1. debian repo használata
2. forrásból való telepítés

1.  Installing using a debian repo

This is the most simple solution using a package manager.
Its main drawback: the support for newer PICs might be missing

In order to install sdcc we need to issue the command:

apt-get install sdcc

Tha package manager will download and install the program (and other requirements such as gputils) for us.

2.  Installing from source code

2.1  Preactions to installation

I have chosen installing from source code, bacause it is easy to maintain as a normal user. Before we move to install, I prefer to check two things.

1. creating the local bin folder, and setting it up
2. creation of the project folder (we will do everything under this folder)

So issue the next command and check its output:

pic@mobix:~$ set|grep PATH
PATH=/home/pic/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
    if [ -z "${CDPATH:-}" ] || [[ "$cur" == ?(.)?(.)/* ]]; then
    for i in ${CDPATH//:/'      '};
    if [ "${INFOPATH: -1:1}" == ':' ]; then
        infopath=${INFOPATH}${infopath};
        if [ ${INFOPATH:+set} ]; then
            infopath=$INFOPATH;
    [ -z "$classpath" ] && classpath=$CLASSPATH;
        manpath=$MANPATH;
    PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin _command $1 $2 $3
pic@mobix:~$ 

In case you cannot find the "/home/pic/bin" folder (of cource, you need to search for your login name instead of pic), issue the following commands:

pic@mobix:~$ mkdir ~/bin
pic@mobix:~$ export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
pic@mobix:~$ echo PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH >> ~/.bashrc

One more additional command, creation of the working folder:

pic@mobix:~$ mkdir projects

So we reached the most important stuff.

2.2  Installing gputils

Enter project folder:

pic@mobix:~$ cd projects

Download most recent gputils from svn:

pic@mobix:~/projects$ svn co https://gputils.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gputils/trunk/gputils gputils_svn

Configure it for the current user:

Compile and install in one step (since we install for our user only, we do not need to be root):

From this point the gputils is ready for the job, lets look what to do next.

2.3  Installing sdcc

Step back into the project folder:

pic@mobix:~/projects/gputils_svn$ cd ..

4. For optimal results We might modify the "/home/pic/projects/sdcc_svn/device/lib/pic/Makefile.common" file. Find the next line, and change to your type (16fXXX):

ARCH   ?= 877

The supported PICs by the pic16 port can be found in the "/home/pic/projects/sdcc_svn/device/lib/pic/pics.all" file. In case of compile error, you might uncomment the wrong type in this file.

Install the compiler (do not need to be root!):

make -f main.mk install

So, we have just installed sdcc! We might start to work with our brand new compiler.

Have good work with it!
