Hi Mark,
How does one build PalmOS5 ARM apps. It can't be that the only way is
to build m68k apps using prc-tools and then execute them on-device
using PACE.
There is an ARM tool-chain on PalmSource, iirc. At the end you get some
arm-palmos-xxx.exe commands, similar to the m68k-palmos-xxx.exe you
already have isntalled. Then you just write your ARM code, complie it
with arm-palmos-gcc, link it and put the result into a resource. Find
the resource at runtime, lock them and call it. See the articles at
knowledge base.
The functionality available in the stdc library with the prc tools is
severly limited. Is the Palm SDK filling the void there? I wouldn't
want to have our lowest level code depend on PALM. We have ported to
PocketPC but even MS has more functionality, like qsort for example.
stdc support is very limited, but can be replaced with API functions for
some: SysQSort fro example.
And one last question, does anyone know when PalmOS 6 devices will be
on the market? And with no support for ARM in prc, and no more
metroworks product, how will native ARM work there?
There isn't any official announcment about PalmOS 6 devices, afaik.
prc-tools can produce ARM code and so will PODS.
Regards
Henk
