Clie OS5 Development using PRC-Tools

[jfaulken]

I've gotten the PRC-Tools + Cygwin installed on Windows XP just fine, and I can compile and run (yay!) normal SDK samples... but when I try to build any of the samples that came with the Sony SDK (like the HR test app) I just get thousands of errors, looks like recursive header problems. I haven't spent a lot of time on trying to track down the problem yet, just curious if anyone has a quick-n-dirty FAQ or something on getting the Sony SDK to work with the GCC toolset instead of just CodeWarrior.

Thanks in advance,

John

There's a perl script floating around somewhere that cleans up the Sony SDK headers, they use a few things that CodeWarrior is happy with that GCC isn't happy with. I'll look around and post a reference when I find it.

I found these pages which have the same perl script. I tried it and they did change the sony sdk files that I guess are needed.

The problem I am having is with the PalmOS 5 SDK when I am compiling with arm-palmos-gcc. I get the warnings '__callseq__' attribute directive ignored. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Am I using the correct compiler, I figured that arm-palmos-gcc is correct for the ARM processor.

Are you trying to call the OS from ARM code? Can't be done directly. If that isn't the problem, I can't help, as I haven't done any ARM programming, just read the SDK for it.

Thanks for the info everyone! Much obliged. ;)
