Building apps for a pilot

1998-03-15 Thread Dermot John Bradley
Hi

I'm a newbie to the Pilot (haven't actually bought one - waiting for the
Palm III to arrive in the shops).

I see there is now a binutils for the pilot and I've seen mention of using
GCC to cross compile for the 68000. Surely to build apps for the Pilot
would require libraries supporting the PalmOS's windowing environment
(i.e. display image, open window, etc). Are these available for Linux?

Thanks in advance

They will compile on Linux, but are not packaged for Debian yet.  Look
for the prc-tools package:

  ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca:/pub/PalmOS/prc-tools.0.5.0.tar.gz

I have a binutils package for Debian that is ready except for the
/usr/doc stuff (Readme, copyright, etc.)  But I haven't done a gcc one
yet.  I'm been rather busy lately. :(

The windowing environment uses something similar to Linux syscalls,
which are handled in include files.
