Installing OReilly Sample project
This section of the tutorial is for both Windows and Unix users of PRC-Tools.
We know our job is to make things as simple as possible for you. As a result, we imagine that when you create a new project you would like it to be as easy as can be expected. So, presto, we have made it so. We’ve created a new, very simple project that has the correct structure of a Palm OS application, but that doesn’t actually do very much. That way, it’s easier to use as the basis of a new application.
Download this project from http://www.calliopeinc.com/stationery.html.
Cloning the Sample Project
Duplicate the OReillyStationery directory:
cp -r OReillyStationery MyProject
Build the project by doing a make:
cd MyProject make
The resulting PRC can be found in GCC/OReillyStarter.prc.
Customizing the Output File
To change the output file, edit the Makefile by
changing the value of the APP variable:
APP=MyProject
In addition, rename the .def file:
mv OReillyStarter.def MyProject.def
Now, when you make, the resulting PRC can be found in GCC/MyProject.prc.
A Non-Debug Build
If you’d like to build without debugging, change the
CFLAGS definition in the
Makefile from:
CFLAGS = -palmos4.0 $(DEBUGCFLAGS)
to:
CFLAGS = -palmos4.0 $(RELEASECFLAGS)
