I didn't find that the O'Reilly book or the references on Palm's site had any relevance whatsoever to developing on Linux with software you can download today. I found the getting-started experience very frustrating, because every document I found on the web described versions of the software which were no longer available, and didn't address the fact that the PRC-tools distribution and the SDK versions don't work together, or that the PRC-tools example code all relies on a version of the SDK which is no longer available for Linux (though you can get old SDKs for Windows and Mac). Similarly, all the actual Palm Linux developers I found were using setups from a year or more ago. I wrote up a page on my experiences, which may be helpful to you: http://www.shallowsky.com/palmlinuxdev.html If there are things I missed due to being a bonehead Palm newbie, and there actually is an easier way to do any of these things, I hope someone will correct me and post the easier ways for those of us who didn't figure it out. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Pilot-unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hcirisc.cs.binghamton.edu/mailman/listinfo/pilot-unix
