Aaron,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question about setting up the
prc-tools. The thing that I found that I was doing wrong was that I had
mounted c:\PalmDev\sdk-4 to /PalmDev. Therefore, the compiler was looking
for the sdk (I assume) in this folder. When I mounted c:\PalmDev\sdk-4 to
/PalmDev/sdk-4, it was able to find the necessary files to
compile. However, if someone could explain to me why this mapping is
needed, I would greatly appreciate it. It seems redundant to me, but
obviously necessary. And...I did find the documentation on your site
helpful. From the install instructions on Palm's site, I was not aware
that I needed to add a flag to my specs file in order for the compiler to
know where to find my sdk.
I can't say how much I really appreciated the response. It helped me zoom
in on where the problem might be. I've been trying to install prc-tools in
my spare time for the past 2 weeks. Although I read many different
installation instructions, and tried to track down the problem through this
method, it was very helpful to have some feedback.
One comment I do have though...

If it's not supported by palm, then why do they claim that it is in their
documentation.

Check out what it says under PRC-Tools.
I guess the good thing about this entire experience is that I might be able
to help someone with a future problem on this topic. I know that lots of
people have installed prc-tools successfully, and I just wanted to be one
of them.
