um.. it takes me like 2-3 minutes to install prc-tools :) > Obviously, properly setting up and using GCC + prc-tools requires > reading the docs and following the instructions. > Please note that I referred him to your previously posted comments on > the matter for information regarding his main question. the largest issue is NOT installing prc-tools, but, installing cygwin :) thats where most of the problems are. that is not something for the prc-tools development team to bother about. but seriously, download cygwin.. select the packages you want to install. install. wola. it can even be done over a network. once cygwin is installed correctly, installing prc-tools is just a simple task of installing the prc-tools package under the cygwin setup.exe program. it'll set everything up for you, and, you may have to run one command (palmdevprep - from memory) to make sure your header files are all in place. it takes much longer to purchase CW, wait for a delivery, put the CDROM into the drive and running setup. its just built for "idiots" (ie: anyone) and requires you to click a few buttons. prc-tools requires you to think a little bit, or, at least understand the technologies that are behind it. -- Aaron Ardiri CEO - CTO Mobile Wizardry http://www.mobilewizardry.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
