It sure is. I use prc-tools. It is free, and, well, it's gcc. There is also developer suite called CodeWarrior, but that is for wimps ;) (expensive too). I can give you some guidelines off the mailing list (I do not think others are interested in coding for palm).

Maybe you can point me in the right direction to write PalmOS programs (.prc's right?). I have some goofy ideas for things to write for my Treo. jonathan On 5/24/07, sinisa marovic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm afraid I will have to dissapoint you: it will be only isapc with no networking or other fancy devices. Main goal is the ability to run dos games. I do not know how familiar are you with PalmOS developer support. It is poor, gcc lack many important functions that have to be written from scratch. When I ported dosbox (which is written in c++) I realized that there is no support for vectors, iterators, namespaces etc, so I had to write many operators myself. The biggest problem with QEMU is that it uses signals a lot, and, guess what, PalmOS has no support for signals _at_ _all_. I found a way to get things going without them for now, but this has it's drawbacks. I will have to think about something better later on. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jonathan Kalbfeld < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 11:18:48 PM Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] Porting QEMU to PalmOS One definite plus with having QEMU for PalmOS is the ability to run things like OpenVPN (even if slow) and connect to a VPN back-end. As is, I use OpenVPN tunnels to link up my QEMU machines on Solaris. jonathan On 5/23/07, Wolfgang Schildbach < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Try compiling as position-dependent (i.e. not PIC) code.
