Hello,
I have recently inherited a project to develop an application for the Treo 600. I have 20 years of C programming experience but none for the Palm platform. I also inherited a copy of CodeWarrior for Palm Computing Platform, Release 6. I have downloaded the OS 5 SDK, and after installing Codewarrior and expanding the downloaded SDK file, I followed the rather cryptic instructions to "install" the SDK into the CodeWarrior IDE. To check it all out, I figure I should be able to build one of the examples from the SDK. I chose "MineHunt".
Much to my surprise, my initial build attempt resulted in a Link Error - "symbol 'main' is undefined". I am brand new to the Palm development effort, but I understand that the normal entry point for a Palm application is "PilotMain". I assume that the symbol "main" is in the startupcode.lib file, but for some reason is not being resolved correctly.
So, what I need help on is what settings of the example project do I need to adjust to allow this symbol "main" to be defined? Any help would be appreciated.
It sounds like your project isn't using the correct linker settings. Unfortunately, the Palm OS 5 SDK was designed for CodeWarrior for Palm OS V8 and later, so it's going to be difficult to use with V6. In particular, V6 isn't going to reliably debug to either the OS 5 simulator or devices.
I think what happened is that the MineHunt project was in a newer format, so CW reverted the 68K Linker and 68K Project settings, and you're actually trying to build a Mac OS application, not a Palm OS app.
