I am trying to Escape Windows. I Bought a mini PC, size of a Mac Mini. Very FAST and small! I managed to get Zorin going. The PIC development package has a Linux version. I can not get a test assembly file to compile. I have searched for a day for help, `every thing says MPLABX works, it is probably in how Zorin is handling scripts?E End of file errors?
Any Help out there? I know very little about Linux!
Thanks, Mike
Did this say for Ubuntu or just Linux in general?
What was the filetype of the offered Linux version?

Linux. It started as a TAR file. After fiddling around I think I ended up with an *.sh file. I know the Apple MPLABX version works on a mini m4. I have read it may be how Zorin inturpets "end of file" markers? Thanks Mucho!, Mike
Did you use this guide?
Assuming you are on Z18 Core, if you are searching for info on the internet, you can substitute "Ubuntu 24.04" in your searchterms instead of ZorinOS 18, as Z18 is based on Ubuntu 24.04.
I got MPLABX to work like in Windows, but its "Make" function errors? I did not see the link you provided! Thanks I will read it now. If I want to try Wine, iwhich version for Zorin?
Wow, thanks guys! I am off to follow your suggestion! 80 yrs Here, still trying!
I am looking at their instructions. It says 1. Type "tar -xvf". Don't I have to be in terminal? I have been a Microchip user sine the 80's. I never understand anything they try to explain! I know very little Linux, I know the scripting is VERY Picky!
I read Microchips instructions for Linux installation. I did it differently per YouTube. Since it runs Great until I compile a file, the Install is working, but must be incompatible with Zorin implementation?
I have not used tar archive/extract commands. I have found this item which may help you a bit. Particularly scroll down to Sections 9 and 10, where extraction and verbose is mentioned. tar Command in Linux With Examples
