Even though the 3.x SDKs have been out for a while, I have just stayed with
the 2.0 SDK supplied with GCC. I have been experimenting with different bits
of code taking it at a fairly easy-going pace, and listening and thinking
about things people discuss here.
Now that the colour stuff in Palm OS 3.5 has been announced, I am really
excited about it, and I want to start experimenting with the new colour
handling APIs, and colour bitmaps.
I'm trying to get the Palm OS 3.5 SDK working with the sample code. So
following Jan Vereecke's advice (18-Nov-1999), I:
(a) unzipped palmos35-bld20-support.zip into a new folder under
m68k-palmos-coff\include called "PalmOS 3.5 Support"
(b) modified
"lib\gcc-lib\m68k-palmos-coff\2.7.2.2-kgpd-071097\include\PalmOS" file to
have
"!<symlink>../../../../../m68k-palmos-coff/include/PalmOS 3.5 Support/Incs"
(this is where PalmOS.h is)
(c) made a test program (test.c and test.h) which look remarkably like
Test35 in the SDK pre-alpha :) I've cobbled a resource file together for
pilrc to work on (test.rcp), but unfortunately I don't get that far. I get
errors when trying to make it:
m68k-palmos-coff-gcc -O0 -g -c test.c -o test.o

make: *** [test.o] Error 1
Line 26 in test.c is the include for PalmOS.h
Why can't it find M68KHwr.h and the others in other directories? What am I
doing wrong?
I have had a look at http://www.acm.rpi.edu/~albert/pilot/Sep98/0124.html
Could all my problems be cured by adding -iprefix option somewhere in my
makefile? If this is the case, could someone kindly spell it out to me
(makefiles aren't my strong point) ?
I've tried changing the symlink in the "PalmOS" file to the 3.5 SDK
pre-alpha folders, but its just the same error. Also, I've tried copying
those files it can't find into the folder (hey, I'm desperate!); but then it
falls over on all the little headers *they* include (of course!).
I'm using gcc 0.5.0 on Win95b, with Palm OS 3.5 SDK. When I eventually get
this damn thing built, I'll be executing it on pose30a3 with the build 20
Colour ROMs :)
Is anyone out there who has the 3.5 stuff working with gcc on Win95?
I promise this is the longest post I'll ever do :)
