So, as I've learned more about PODS, and prc-tools I have become quite
dismayed. We have a visualization library for detail in context
viewing of GIS data. We have successfully deployed this on 300+MHz
ARM machines in the past, running various PocketPC incarnations. It
seems to me that in order to get this working on 5.4 I need to do the
following:
1. Compile our C++ library using pacc -pno
2. Write a C interface for at least (limited functionality) 100
functions (about 700 for full functionality) which does the
following:
a. take the function arguments and compile them into a data
block.
b. use the PceNativeCall to call the appropriate PNO function
with that data block as argument.
3. Write a m68k app with this PNO linked as a resource.
Is that the only way to get native execution on Palm 5x devices? Are
there no libraries for building a completely native ARM executable?
They must be somewhere since PalmOS on these machines is native ARM.
If I am wrong, and there is a way to write a completely native ARM
app, please give me a hint as to how to do it. If I am correct, we're
going to tell the contractor to wait for Palm 6 devices.
Thank you,
Mark.
