I have set myself a personal goal to learn to write Palm OS Treo
applications within the next 6 months. I have purchased a copy of CW 9.3,
and started reading the Palm SDK documentation.
I ran into an issue today with CW, and called support. Apparently I just
spent $400 on an end of life product, that I can't get support for. They
directed me to this list.
I tried to follow the instructions that came with the software to create a
sample app..
When I finished the wizard for a new project, I got the following error
message:
Couldn't complete the last command because the template file 'C:\Program
Files\Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\Templates\Palm_OS_Templates\pol-
common.mtl' could not be found.
This error is because of licensing... CW for Palm OS V9 orignally
shipped with a C++ class library called Object Library for Palm OS
(POL). Metrowerks had a license to ship it for several years, a
license that ran out. The currently shipping copy of CW for Palm OS
doesn't include POL, but since they didn't have any engineering
resoruces to rework the wizard, it still references it. I suspect
they just ripped out files and remanufactured the CD. Grrrr.
You can use the wizard to make a new app, but you can't use any of the
Object Library for Palm OS targets. Sorry.
BTW, there are a number of network commands built into Palm OS. On
the Treo, go to Preferences, then go to Network. Then use the Menu
key to choose "View Log". This is actually a command line window, and
you can type "help" to see the built-in commands. On my Treo 700p,
I've got "ping", "finger", and several others. You can add commands
by creating "command-line apps" which have type 'sdio' and use the
StdIO provider. There's a PalmSource KB article on this.
