Thanks Ben,Just so I'm understanding the situation... Option 1: Using mathlib as packaged with metrowerks would involve installing the prc file on a palm.
Right.
I'm not an expert on the LGPL myself, but in reading the license, the key things are that you must distribute the library with its source or with an offer to send the source, and you must provide your program in a form that allows the user to change the library -- that either means doing a shared library, or including your code in a form that can be relinked (such as a static library and a project file).Option 2: Another option is to directly link my source code to use the mathlib but under the constraints of the licensing LGPL or GPL agreements. How would you directly link the code to do this? I looked up the Licensing agreements but I'm not a lawyer so I really don't know what the gist of what it is trying to say. Seems like a lot of double talk.
Just download the source -- it is all standard C. When MathLib was created on Palm OS, it was basically just a port of FDLIBM with a new license and glue code to make it work as a shared library.Option 3: Another option is to use the free math library at www.netlib.org/fdlibm with necessary modifications.
