PalmOS Development With Linux?
Ledge Kindred asks: "I recently bought a Palm IIIxe and I'd like to start writing apps for it. I've installed the PRC-tools, Palm's 3.5 SDK for the PRC tools and PILRC (I've even gotten the POSE Palm emulator compiled and running) but I have basically no idea how to use them. I've hunted around the 'net and I've found virtually no references for writing apps with the PRC toolchain, which is apparently quite a bit different from using CodeWarrior and "the standard" Palm SDK as most of the code samples with the SDK don't compile at all, complaining about various missing header files. Are there any good, recent references on the 'net, sample code or books I can buy to get up-to-speed writing Palm apps under Linux, or should I just buy CodeWarrior for PalmOS and build a Windows box to do development on? Do any "hardcore" PalmOS developers even use the PRC tools under Linux to write their apps or is it so deficient compared to CodeWarrior that I should just stop putting any more effort into getting it working? If PRC is complete enough to do "real" work with, where are any good references on setting it up so that it can be used? "
O'reilly book online for free Palm Development-Howto Links to more info and I assume you have gcc for palm as well as prc.. All that can be found here: http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/gcc/ Hope that helps.
Blessed are the pessimists, for they have made backups.
O'Reilly has a new book due out this summer on Palm development. Last time I checked, it hadn't been announced yet but if I was you, I'd wait until it is available, probably later this summer.
