I am trying to set up a development environment based on SDK3.5, PRC-Tools
v2.0,
Cygwin-b20-1-user-tools, Pilrc v2.5b3. After downloading and installing the
appropriate files for each of these from the Palm site I'm still stuck on a
couple of issues. I did the installation on an NT 4.0 SP3 workstation that
did not have a GCC environment already installed.
1) Where are the examples (address, datebook, memo etc)? I did a file-find
of *.prc on all partitions of my hard drive and I don't see any of them.
2) Where does it explain what common headers are needed (pilot.h and
common.h are no more; what are their replacements)? The examples probably
would have told me but like I said, I didn't find them. I did run across a
FAQ that mentions PalmOS.h being the replacement for Pilot.h.
3) There is no PalmOS\Support folder on my computer. The readme for SDK 3.5
implies there should be once the SDK install exe is run.
4) A general question... do applications compiled using the new versions of
the data types (Uint8, etc) instead of the deprecated type, only run on
devices with OS 3.5 or higher? Will I need to have separate versions of my
apps for OS < 3.5 and OS >= 3.5?
Other than the above snafus I thought Palm did a good job on their web site
of explaining how to install the GCC environment. Big improvement over what
I had to go through to install my original GCC environment a year ago when
there was pretty much nothing on the subject at their site other than a
mention that it could be done.
