Wasn't 15-Feb-2000, at 12:18PM, when Nik Clayton said: > Before I wander off in to uncharted territories, is anyone here using > FreeBSD as a development platform for the Palm Pilot? Yes. The are two attempts to bring the GNU tools up-to-date in developing palm applications. I first tried John Marshall's implementation, but kept getting compiler errors when building the tools. I tried to take notes of all the mods I had to make, but the list grew too big. I then found another person (Michael Sokolov) who was doing the same thing. His version of the tools compiled cleanly and worked. You can download his tarball at: ftp://ftp.jpsystems.com/prc-tools.0.6.0beta.tar.gz You also need a resource compiler. A useful one can be found at: http://www.hig.se/~ardiri/development/palmIII/pilrc/index.html I think I'd like to get John Marshall's version to work, because his installation tries to build a C++ compiler, as well. Michael's version is just a C compiler. But first I need to familiarize myself with Palm development, so I went with the project that worked. -- Rich ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rich Neswold | GnuPG: FACD A985 1E15 FCEB BE76 rneswold@yahoo.com | 1535 2F05 5DF1 143A 85D5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
