I don't have the Hitech C-compiler and so I've never tried this. As it
stands, the gpsim gui assumes that the source file for your project was
written in assembly. So I'm fairly certain that it won't work. The cli,
otoh, makes no assumptions (because it's not trying to do anything fancy
like the gui).
If you could send me:
the .c source and all include files and all of the outpus that the Hitech
compiler produces, then I can take a look at how they format their .cod
files and make changes to gpsim to be compatible with them. Now, the gui
would have to be changed significantly to accomodate C-source debugging.
So I can't make any promises that we'll have that working anytime soon (if
at all).
To get you going though, you may try to see if the Hitech compiler can
produce an intermediate .asm file which can then be assembled by gpasm.
Many C compilers I've worked with are capable of producing a .asm file
with the .c source interspersed as comments. I imaging Hitech can do this.
Another possibility is to use picc (or whatever it is called). There's a
linux executable (not source) that is distributed for free. I know that it
generates .asm output that can be assembled by gpasm.
Does somebody know where picc is now available?

I think so.
