CodeWarrior
This first tutorial goes through CodeWarrior. As most Palm OS application development takes place in CodeWarrior, it seemed like a good place to start. Here is what the tutorial describes:
What CodeWarrior includes (which tools you install and use)
How to install and use the newest 4.0 SDK from Palm with CodeWarrior
How to install a PilRC plug-in
How to use some stationery (OReilly Starter) that we provide, which makes creating a new project much easier
The various settings in CodeWarrior
Creating a new project
Making a PRC file
A quick walkthrough of the CodeWarrior IDE
Using Constructor to create resources
What CodeWarrior Includes
We’re discussing CodeWarrior for Palm OS Platform 7.0, the current release in mid-2001. When you install CodeWarrior, it will put these tools on your computer:
- CodeWarrior IDE
This is a project-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
- Constructor for Palm OS
This is a graphical resource editor.
- Palm OS Emulator (3.0a7)
This is not the latest version of POSE; see Section 4.6 later in this chapter for information on getting the latest version.
- Palm OS 3.5 SDK
This software development kit (SDK) includes header files, libraries, examples, and documentation. It can be used to create applications that run on any earlier version of the OS as well. It can’t be used, however, to access any 4.0-specific APIs (see Section 4.2.2, for information).
The header files and libraries are kept in Metrowerks\CodeWarrior for Palm OS Platform 7.0\Palm OS 3.5 Support ...
