Arch Linux User Repository

I have been having difficulty installing this. I get the following:

Extracting installers...

Running MPLABX installer...

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly

Error running tar xzf /opt/microchip/mplabx/v6.15/sys/java/jre-zulu

linux_x64.tar.gz -C "/opt/microchip/mplabx/v6.15/sys/java" --no-same-owner: /bin/sh:

line 1: tar: command not found

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

Aborting...

-> error making: microchip-mplabx-bin-exit status 4

-> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:

microchip-mplabx-bin - exit status 4

Has anyone else been having issues with this? Apologies as I am not very experienced with debugging these things.

Could be possible to make one package for MPLAB IDE and another with MPLAB IPE?

You probably need to set the harmony directory in the application preferences.

To be honest the downloader sucks on either platform. I just use git directly to pull them in.

All this info is on the microchip wiki.

Im very new to mplab as a whole but seeing what my experienced colleague is doing on windows i seem to run into an exception when clicking mcc content manager and then clicking select MPLAB HARMONY and later finish:

Whats missing?

@siavoshkc

I have removed these 32-bit dependencies in the latest version of the PKGBUILD with no ill effects. These must have been required by an older version of the installer.

Actually I installed both IDE and compiler via original Linux installer with no problem. So 32bit dependencies are definitely redundant.

@siavoshkc mplabx always had 32-bit dependencies so without the 32-bit libs things like debuggers may not work. I can check the latest version when I package it up.

@schrmh not really sure what your issue is, none of the udev rules mention uaccess.

Can we exclude 32 bit dependencies in case we don't want any cross compilation on x64 system? This is to avoid enabling multilib repo.

lib32-fakechroot (make, x86_64) lib32-fakeroot (make, x86_64)

Would be nice if it the 98-jlink-mplabx.rules udev rule would be fixed. Problem like this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=274415

Awesome, thanks.
