Okay, here's what I had to do to get Plucker compiling on my system. Prereqs: Since I'm a Palm developer by trade, I already had a full installation of Cygwin and Prc-tools, which I used to compile several programs.
I also had Python 2.2 installed, both in Windows (C:\Program Files\Python), and in Cygwin (/usr/bin/python). The steps: 1) I downloaded the latest CVS snapshot from http://www.plkr.org/index.pl/snapshot (Cause I'm a maniac!) and extracted it to my V:\ drive. 2) I found the lack of a "./configure" in the plucker directory to be a little confusing, so I started reading some of the other files. 3) Eventually I got around to autogen.sh, which I ran. It gave me the following warnings: checking for pnmtopalm... no checking for ppmquant... no checking for ppmtoTbmp... no checking for mogrify... no checking "for PIL"... no checking "what to use for image transformation"... "nothing available" checking for autoconf... /usr/bin/autoconf checking for gsed... no checking for sed... /usr/bin/sed checking for latex... /usr/bin/latex checking for latex2html... no configure: WARNING: "Unable to find latex2html" checking for giftopnm... no configure: WARNING: "Unable to find giftopnm from netpbm" checking for pnmtops... no configure: WARNING: "Unable to find pnmtops from netpbm" checking for m68k-palmos-gcc... /usr/bin/m68k-palmos-gcc checking "for PalmOS SDK 4.0"... checking for gcc... /usr/bin/m68k-palmos-gcc checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot cr eate executables 4) I decided to get PIL, and set it up under Cygwin. I got PIL version 1.1.3 from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm unzipped it into my v:\ drive, and ran the BUILDME script. It failed due to a missing "X11/Xlib.h". When I tried to do a 'find / -name "Xlib.h" -print' it hung, and crashed my virus scanner. :P 4) So I gave up on PIL, and decided to try and fix the problems I was having with plucker. I started reading the configure script, and found where the error was. I changed the error message to include the compiler it was trying to use, and found out that the error actually seemed to be: /usr/m68k-palmos/lib/crt0.o: In function `start': crt0.c:69: undefined reference to `PilotMain' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status So I finally cried uncle, and decided to do some of my actual work, since I apparently was getting nowhere. If anyone has any clues as to what I did wrong, or where I could fix this, I'ld be more than happy to do more legwork to get this working.
