Great! So you might be able to tell me, why there is no Palm OS SDK for Linux? PODS is using GCC and cygwin, but GCC is GNU's app. I do not understand this. In the fact I would appreciate Win32 compiler rather than SDK for Linux, because of HotSync... Is there any Win32 compiler in development?
There is a Palm OS SDK for Linux -- use prc-tools along with the Linux version of Palm OS Emulator and the Palm OS 5.0 R3 SDK for prc-tools.
Just because the GCC-based tools are from GNU doesn't mean that they are tied to Linux or any other operating system. People have been using prc-tools on multiple operating systems for years. The new Palm OS Developer Suite is being developed on Windows, using Win32 tools developed at PalmSource, along with open-source tools that run on Win32 such as the Eclipse IDE.
I guess I don't understand your question very well... everything we do is supported on Win32 systems, with limited support for other tool sets and host OSes.
