No makefile required, just a little imagination.

Create a file "foo.c":
#include <PalmOS.h>
UInt32 PilotMain (UInt16 a, void *b, UInt16 c) { return 0; }
and you should get no warnings or errors of any kind when you compile it
with (add -palmos3.5 etc to taste to the first line)
m68k-palmos-gcc -o foo foo.c
build-prc -n footest -c DUMB foo
and you should end up with a foo.prc that you can install and even run
-- it won't crash, but it won't do anything interesting either.

There are several example projects available from the prc-tools
homepage. Several of the examples in the Palm OS SDK are buildable with
prc-tools out of the box. As Chris and Aaron noted, there are lots of
other examples around. This is also a value-add opportunity for a
prc-tools-based IDE: for example, Falch.net DeveloperStudio comes with
sample projects, and I trust the IDE you're using does too.
