I am porting a large existing code base to the Palm OS, it uses a fair
amount of globals and a large amount of static data, around 80K when all is
said & done. I have got it compiling and segmented, each segment has no more
than 64K of code & data but when I go to link it I get the following errors:
Link Error : __RuntimeModule__: Near data segment is bigger than 64k.
Link Error : __RuntimeModule__: Near data segment is bigger than 64k.
Link Error : PalmOS_GlobalDestructors.c: '__destroy_global_chain' 16-bit
data reference to '__global_destructor_chain' is out of range.
Link Error : PalmOS_Startup.c: '__Startup__' 16-bit data reference to
'__exit_jmp_buf' is out of range.
Link Error : PalmOS_Startup.c: '__LoadAndRelocate__' 16-bit data reference
to '__segtable__' is out of range.
Link Error : PalmDL.c: 'AppStart' 16-bit data reference to
'b35NewFeatureSet' is out of range.
... <goes on for a long time :>
I am using CodeWarrior for Palm OS Release 7 running on Windows 2000
Professional. The SDK is 3.5. The project settings in the 68K processor
panel are Code Model:Large, Far Data:on, Far String Constants:on,
PC-Relative Strings:off. According to the manual this should solve the near
data problem but it obviously isn't. If I comment out the code to handle
sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch, it links successfully. I look at the map
generated and all of the Code: items are in the first segment so that isn't
the problem.
Is there some way that I can get the project to link with that much static
data or do I absolutely need to put it into resource files? I would like to
avoid doing that if possible since this is an ongoing project with changes
to the existing codebase that will need to be integrated into this port.
However I suspect that putting into resources is the only way to get it to
work, would someone please deny or confirm my suspicions?
Thanks,
-Geoff
