I compile my applications with prc-tools and PilRC under OS X 10.3.9. Using the LOCALE attribute in the .rcp file and running PilRC with the -Loc, -StripLoc, and -ro flags creates a .ro file with the localized resources, but without the 'ovly' resource needed for an overlay to work.
The command-line version of prc2ovl has a flag -p to switch to "Patch Overlay" mode, wherein an existing overlay file is updated to work with a newer base application by copying missing resources and creating a new 'ovly' resource. However, the Mac version of the Palm SDK only includes a GUI version of prc2ovl. 1) Is there a way to invoke "Patch Overlay" mode in the GUI version of prc2ovl? or 2) Is a command-line version of prc2ovl available for OS X? I can, of course, create a new overlay with the GUI prc2ovl and use Constructor to copy resources over, but this is tedious. Also, one could use PilRC with the -Loc flag but not the -StripLoc flag to create a full localized version, and then use the GUI prc2ovl to create an overlay from it, but this seems roundabout and I'm not sure if everything comes out right. -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
