I used to use Hi-Tide from Hi-Tech before they were purchased by MPLab. In my opinion it was great. I wrote the C code, selected the processor and out popped a hex file.
I've now migrated to Ubuntu 11.04 and need to be able to compile/assemble C code for Pic micros. I've been trying to bend SDCC to my will for some time with little success, and apparently their support of PIC is still in development (according to the man).
I tried using Hi-Tide 3 for Linux, but had no success even launching the IDE.
I am not looking for an IDE or anything like that. Just need a solid, sane, relatively easy toolchain that doesnt need to be poked and prodded at every step to produce a functioning hex file for PIC's.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm near the points where I might as well just start writting my own hex files.

MPLAB-X is a full IDE and collection of toolchains for all the PIC micros.
The IDE itself isn't that wonderful, being written in JAVA, bit it's tolerable.
Personally I use the toolchains that come with MPLAB-X but use Anjuta for my IDE.
