I tried the fixes mentioned for the java8-openjfx package, but no luck.

I really just want the udev rules from mplab so I can use the pickit4. Once I have them I thought about creating a package for just the udev rules.

@opamp22

That is an issue with the java8-openjfx package not this one, check the comments on that package and you will find your answers.

But yes java8-openjfx is a pain to build, maybe a binary version of that package needs to be created.

One thing I have been playing with recently is the VS code plugins from microchip, seem to be pretty good for simple projects.

java8-openjfx is causing problems.

@phippu that's an issue with the java8-openjfx package

The link https://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8u-dev/rt/archive/${pkgver//./}-ga.tar.bz2 does return a corrupted archive for me.

The *.tar.gz variant seems to be still intact. I suggest to change this

Looks like they only check the Referer, it can be easilly circumvented by adding a custom DLAGENT in the PKGBUILD:

DLAGENTS=('https::/usr/bin/curl -qgb "" -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -e "https://www.microchip.com/en-us/tools-resources/develop/mplab-x-ide" -o %o %u')

I commited the fix to the PKGBUILD

Oh.

Looks like microchip have disabled direct download of the installer (I only had to click a single button on their website to start the download).

You can download the file manually and place it in the directory with your PKGBUILD and it will work.

Link: https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/DEV/ProductDocuments/SoftwareTools/MPLABX-v6.15-linux-installer.tar

I will look into a workaround when I get a chance.

I got the following error, could you help @danwood76?

@cormacc

16GB will not be enough to build the package.

The final install size of mplabx is ~12GiB, so you will probably need double that in order to generate the package.

The latest update is failing to build for me -- fills up a 16gb tmpfs partition then spits out a load of 'No space left on device' errors and exits. Could bump tmpfs size temporarily, but 16gb sounds like a possible issue with the build?

Excerpt below (including the last of many 'cp: error copying ....' lines)
