 Linux can be simpler or harder than other platforms.

-However, if you're compiling a SID firmware and you have Debian etc or even Ubuntu in Dapper or earlier, you probably have gpasm-0.13.4 which does not have the ability to compile code for the PIC 18f4685. You can check what version you're using by issuing the below command.

+Note: The biggest issues you'll have with this HowTo is that there are certain dependencies in building these sorts of things that you will have to install. Sometimes it will say that it can't without something specific like "bison", which you can easily install using "apt-get install bison"; but other times it only references a binary inside a package of a DIFFERENT name. This means that you'll have to search around a bit, maybe using "apt-cache search foo" or maybe also on the internet to figure out what package you need to install.
