I've started writing in MPLAB as it saves IT spending 8 hours working out how to grant Microchip (atmel)(microsoft) (visual) studio admin rights without giving them to me.
Microchip have a download on their website for the GCC compiler but I could never get it to work, it kept complaining about not finding a path to GCC I think even though it was all set up.
I I ended up using XC8. Happily the same header files are available an from the few lines I have written so far all seems fine.
I just (convolutenly) went to create a new header file and got:

Criky MC, steady on there with the copyright crap that I will delete anyway. What's all the other crap for? before I just punch the delete key anyway?
I just (convolutenly) went to create a new header file
Perhaps you need to figure out how to remove the convolutions...
I get (using right-click on "projects/Source Files" "New/C Header File"):
