As a temporary workaround, just comment out the following lines in
PikMain.cpp :
if(!hard.isok())
{
QMessageBox::warning(this,
i18n("Hardware configuration error"),
i18n("Cannot allocate %1 port %2.<br><br>"
"Please use <b>Configure->Programmer</b>
(or <b>CTRL+SHIFT+P</b>)<br>"
"to setup your port
configuration.").arg(type).arg(port)
, "OK") ;
}
I will modify the next version for people which use PiKdev without a
programmer.

I will perhaps need the collaboration of interested authors for minor CLI
modification.
For the moment, I need to find (from microchip ?) something like a
database containing features of each pic devices, because my GUI needs
informations which are often not provided by CLI programming software.
I know that these informations exist (I suppose microchip uses them
for their own IDE). Does somebody know how to access them ?

Alain
