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.

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

@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.

cormacc commented on 2023-09-27 08:50 (UTC)

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)

Thanks, @danwood76!!!

Veraxis commented on 2023-09-26 20:35 (UTC)

I tried it again today and it is working for me now. Thanks!

danwood76 commented on 2023-09-26 11:12 (UTC)

This should be fixed in the new version.

danwood76 commented on 2023-09-22 19:56 (UTC)

I can confirm this issue on my spare laptop.

I will take a look at it on the weekend.

Regards, Danny
