OK, I know I am stupid, but... I have downloaded GCBasic and fbc (free basic compiler) but how do I actually use the latter to compile/install the former? I have searched the web andsure there are instructions but sorry, I don't understand, Please Help!
Thanks in advance
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Now you should have the gcbasic executable in GCBASIC folder.
Now you can do your configuration by editing te "sample gcbasic.ini" and save it as "gcbasic.ini"
Thanks Guys,
After I posted I also found this on the web which was very helpful -http://pic-linux.foroactivo.net/gcbasic-f26/compilador-basic-libre-para-pic-gcbasic-t89.htm
or the alternative apt get gcbasic (which I ended up using)
Thanks again for your time and input.

I use gedit in ubuntu for editor/ide. I think it is as easy as crimson editor and i liked CE alot.
gedit has what is called: EXTERNAL TOOLS Mananger
These are the tools I set up one button commands to compile , erase and download to PIC using PICkit 2
pk2cmd was downloaded off of Microchip site
Ubuntu needed some usb library files to make the PICkit 2 work.. Also pk2cmd took some work to let the commands work without sudo and a password. you'll see... goto http://groups.google.com/group/pickit-devel/ (sorry the printer didn't print the rest)

Hello.
To install freebasic open a termianl, move to freebasic folder and type:
sudo ./install.sh -i
To compile GcBasic:
Download the last update of GcBasic from here:
http://gcbasic.sourceforge.net/newfiles/update.zip
Unzip and move to the GCBASIC folder overwriting previous files.
Open a terminal, move to GCBASIC folder and type:
fbc gcbasic.bas
Now you should have the gcbasic executable in GCBASIC folder.
Now you can do your configuration by editing te "sample gcbasic.ini" and save it as "gcbasic.ini"
To have Gedit as GcBasic IDE have a look to this:
https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=3302823&forum_id=629990
I forgot:
To have GcBasic and asm sintax highlighting in Gedit (Ubuntu Hardy) you can install this files:
http://www.box.net/shared/hfn191lyhu
I think in Ubuntu Jaunty does not work, but you can find the lang and xml files inside the folders and install yourself in the proper place.
Thanks Guys,
