Hi,
Check out www.mikroe.com.
They have a free compiler (with 2k program word limit) and a free book on how to use it.
I've personally found the mikroC compiler very good.
You could try Microchip for compilers and an operating environment. They have a good selection.
Also, try a search for Notepad+, It is a free text editor that has colour setting for different sytles of coding like C, Basic and Assembler.
SDCC is a retargettable, optimizing ANSI - C compiler that targets the Intel 8051, Maxim 80DS390, Zilog Z80 and the Motorola 68HC08 based MCUs. Work is in progress on supporting the Microchip PIC16 and PIC18 series. SDCC is Free Open Source Software, distributed under GNU General Public License (GPL).
I decided to use SDCC in Piklab (Ubuntu). Is there any manual, that teaches you using this compiler, like ccs manual? In this one, there are just some instructions how to install it and blah blah blah..nothing usefull, like how to use lcd or something.

I think you are asking multiple questions here without realising it.
If I'm reading your thread correctly you may be asking:
1. For a tutorial on the C language
2. A tutorial on a specific implementation of C
3. Instructions on how to use an LCD with C
All of these are very different questions and you may have to go to
different locations to get help.
In particular it is unlikely that you C compiler will help you with LCD programming at all unless it is part of a packaged system.
Given that you are using Linux I doubt that would be the case (but I may be wrong of course)
My advice if you are able to choose would be to go to the MikroElectronica
web site and download their free C compiler. It includes a software debugger.
This also includes a full excelent IDE and LCD libraries.
Using the libraries will work as an excelent tutorial.
This is even more helpfull as they have written a tutorial book which
they have put online free in HTML form to read. I highly recommend
having a look at this.
I realise that not everyone can pay for their compiler but the free version
is fully functional and will be enough to do more than what you are asking.
I have found them to be a very generous company.
After doing this you will be in a better position to use a lower quality
compiler/environment if you choose.
I don't think we are on same frequency. First of all, I must say, that I know C language pretty good, but I don't have much experience in C as microcontroller programing. SDCC has required libraries, but always, there is something, that you need to look for on the internet. Ok, forget about manual. Let's go to specific problem. I need some library for 8-bit comunnication with LCD 2x16 and PIC microcontroller. All I can find on internet is 4-bit communication, like nobody uses 8-bit one. I don't get it. Will I have to write it myself?
And thank you for all previous posts.
There are build in library functions for several operations in a C compiler named MikroC. Just refer to it & you can find the LCD build in functions there.Download the compiler,Read the manual of MikroC & start coding.Check out this link. Compilers - mikroElektronika.
