+\layout Standard
+

+ This process is not done automatically by SDCC since not all users use
+ SDCC for pic16 projects.
+ So each user should compile the libraries separately.
+\layout Standard
+
+The steps to compile the pic16 libraries under Linux are:
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+cd device/lib/pic16
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+./configure
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+make
+\layout LyX-Code
+

+\layout LyX-Code
+
+make model-pic16
+\layout LyX-Code
