Free PIC C compiler [closed]

Question

I am looking for a free, and possibly open source C compiler for PIC. I might go without C, but I would like to get both options.

There are various compilers out there, but since I have never done PIC development before, I am looking for user experience and advice. I am targetting the PIC16F88x family

Answer 1

Try SDCC - an open source Small Device C Compiler

I used it for small project during school and it worked great.

Answer 2

I am mentioning the PIC C compilers here, which are best when it comes to PIC Microcontroller Programming.

1. MPLAB C18 Compiler
2. MikroC Pro for PIC
3. CCS Compiler for PIC

You can read more about them on this post Top 3 PIC C Compiler, they have given a comparison between these 3 PIC Compilers i.e. there advantages and disadvantages.
