user error - not tools error. > Five minutes . . . maybe IF you know exactly which tools you need, IF > you know what CYGWIN is and have installed it 10 times before, IF you > know that the CYGWIN installer is also use to install the PRC-TOOLS too > and understand why and how. ok.. 5 minute download instructions: 1. goto http://www.cygwin.org/ - download setup.exe 2. run setup.exe - install from network - install to C:\cygwin (or, wherever) - make mode = UNIX (there is an option there) - make sure you select the packages you need . i normally download a full cygwin to do compilation for win32 (gcc, make, libc, etc).. cygwin has a load of other tools (wget, ncftp, etc) - i grab those too. . prc-tools REQUIRES 'make', and, if you wish to build pilrc from sources, you need to grab 'gcc' etc. 3. goto http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/cygwin.html - download prc-tools binary (i do this, dont trust net install) 4. run setup.exe (from cygwin) - install from local directory (point to where you downloaded) - leave all other options the same 5. goto http://www.ardiri.com/palm/pilrc/ - download PilRC - grab pilrc.exe from the archive, and, from within a bash shell type: $ cp pilrc.exe /bin 6. your done. there are pilrc "cygwin" packages available. and, i intend to build them in future so you install pilrc just like you do with prc-tools. i think the biggest confusion here is that OLD prc-tools was installed differently to what it is today. the NEW prc-tools is distributed in a much better manner and, you consider prc-tools as a package to cygwin. when you get your brain around that, everything is solved. -- 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/
