I'm currently having some serious issues using MPLABX with OpenJDK7. When MPLABX is running I get lots of other applications failing to load with 'shmget failed: error 28 (No space left on device)' errors. MPLABX runs just fine with OpenJDK8 though, is it possible to change the default to OpenJDK8 as OpenJDK7 is EOL anyway?

@mickael9: I'm going to disown this package. You can take it over...

I'm not able to launch the IDE after installation. The following command fails during startup: /opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/platform/lib/nbexec --userdir /home/myuser/.mplab_ide/dev/v3.10 --cachedir /home/myuser/.cache/mplab_ide/dev/v3.10/var --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/ --clusters /opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/mplab_ide:/opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/cnd:/opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/dlight:/opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/harness:/opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/ide:/opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/mdbcore:/opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/mplablibs:/opt/microchip/mplabx/v3.10/mplab_ide/nb: -J-Dnetbeans.importclass=org.netbeans.upgrade.AutoUpgrade --branding mplab -J-Djava.io.tmpdir=/tmp/mplab_ide -J-Dcrownking.stream.verbosity=very-quiet -J-Xss2m -J-Xms256m -J-XX:PermSize=128m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=384m -J-Xmx512m -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-Dapt.limit.expanded.params=1000 -J-Dplugin.manager.check.interval=EVERY_DAY I can see the Netbeans startup screen, but after that Netbeans just does a silent exit.

Here's my PKGBUILD updated for MPLABX 3.10 : https://gist.github.com/mickael9/e107ad9f687690865c7f

line #86 should be changed to `/usr` instead of `/usr/local`

@mickael9 thanks for PKGBUILD

Here is a PKGBUILD : http://ix.io/k1K and corresponding microchip-mplabx-bin.install : http://ix.io/k1L

As Mickael9, I vote to remove the hard dependecy to openjdk... it should be hard but optional between oracle jdk and openjdk

I've made quite a few improvements to this PKGBUILD, here is the diff if you're interested. Also note that it removes the hard dependency on openjdk. Diff : http://ix.io/jOq

@ivanop I have had a bit of a play with this version of mplabx and the PKGBUILD needs a few fixes to get the USB programmers and IPE working again. The IPE line I have added is more dynamic than before so hopefully it should survive across future versions. The MPLABCOMM installer requires the find utility now (for some daft reason) and the paths have changed once again. It looks like microchip have chosen a standard directory layout, hopefully they stick to it. The mplabx installer also runs the MPLABCOMM installer (to its own specific install path), so there is no need to run it twice (saves around 5MB in the package) so I commented the initial run of that out. Heres a diff of my PKGBUILD (I have added the .desktop file fixes again too): diff -ur microchip-mplabx-bin.orig/PKGBUILD microchip-mplabx-bin/PKGBUILD --- microchip-mplabx-bin.orig/PKGBUILD 2015-07-09 06:15:01.000000000 +0100 +++ microchip-mplabx-bin/PKGBUILD 2015-07-15 13:01:34.404144206 +0100 @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ ln -s /bin/bash $pkgdir/bin/ ln -s /bin/sh $pkgdir/bin/ + ln -s /bin/find $pkgdir/bin/ echo "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash" > $pkgdir/etc/passwd echo "root:x:0:root" > $pkgdir/etc/group @@ -63,7 +64,7 @@ echo "#!/bin/bash LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$srcdir/usr/lib/libfakeroot/fakechroot:\$LD_LIBRARY_PATH - ./$installer2 --mode text --installdir /opt/microchip/mplabcomm1.0 < inst_input2 &> /dev/null || true +# ./$installer2 --mode text --installdir /opt/microchip/mplabcomm1.0 < inst_input2 &> /dev/null || true ./$installer --mode text < inst_input &> /dev/null || true"> $pkgdir/chroot_input.sh # ./$installer --mode text < inst_input || true"> $pkgdir/chroot_input.sh chmod 0755 $pkgdir/chroot_input.sh @@ -75,17 +76,20 @@ sed -i 's|#jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"|jdkhome=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/|g' $pkgdir$instdir/v$pkgver/mplab_ide/etc/mplab_ide.conf sed -i 's|#jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"|jdkhome=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/|g' $pkgdir$instdir/v$pkgver/mplab_ipe/mplab_ipe - sed -i 's|\"$jdkhome\"bin/java -jar \"$jdkhome\"/../../../mplab_ipe/ipe.jar|\"$jdkhome\"bin/java -jar /opt/microchip/mplabx/mplab_ipe/ipe.jar|g' $pkgdir$instdir/v$pkgver/mplab_ipe/mplab_ipe + sed -i 's|\"$jdkhome\"bin/java -jar \"$jdkhome\"/../../../mplab_ipe/ipe.jar|\"$jdkhome\"bin/java -jar '$instdir'/v'$pkgver'/mplab_ipe/ipe.jar|g' $pkgdir$instdir/v$pkgver/mplab_ipe/mplab_ipe rm $pkgdir/{chroot_input.sh,inst_input,$installer,etc/{group,passwd}} rm -r $pkgdir/{bin,tmp} ln -s $instdir/v$pkgver/mplab_ide/bin/mplab_ide $pkgdir/usr/bin/mplab_ide ln -s $instdir/v$pkgver/mplab_ipe/mplab_ipe $pkgdir/usr/bin/mplab_ipe - ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm1_0_0/libmchpusb-1.0.so.0.0.0 $pkgdir/usr/local/lib/libmchpusb-1.0.so - ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm1_0_0/mchplinusbdevice $pkgdir/etc/.mplab_ide - ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm1_0_0/libUSBAccessLink.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/libUSBAccessLink.so - ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm1_0_0/libSerialAccessLink.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/libSerialAccessLink.so + ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm/v$pkgver/lib/libmchpusb-1.0.so.0.0.0 $pkgdir/usr/local/lib/libmchpusb-1.0.so + ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm/v$pkgver/lib/mchplinusbdevice $pkgdir/etc/.mplab_ide + ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm/v$pkgver/lib/libUSBAccessLink.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/libUSBAccessLink.so + ln -s $instdir/../mplabcomm/v$pkgver/lib/libSerialAccessLink.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/libSerialAccessLink.so + + echo "StartupWMClass=MPLAB X IDE v$pkgver" >> $pkgdir/usr/share/applications/mplab.desktop + echo 'StartupWMClass=com-microchip-ipe-ui-ProdProgrammerApp' >> $pkgdir/usr/share/applications/mplab_ipe.desktop rm -f $pkgdir$instdir/Uninstall*
