PRC-Tools help!

[mormegil]

I haven't programmed since high-school (2 years of Pascal). I've been meaning to learn C. (I plan on getting a C book tomorrow, but meanwhile)

I also wanted to make a VERY simple app, to calculate how much I need to dilute concentrated chemical solutions to get the proper final solusions. I currently use PocketSheet to do this. I figure, well, I'll learn a little C, and put this little app together.

The problem is, I can't figure out how to properly install PRC-Tools, and such.

I've got CYGWIN installed. I can't seem to get the SDK downloaded right. I've downloaded the RPM file (zip file doesn't contain headers). CYGWIN won't find it when I run palmdev-prep

Any suggestions? What exactly should I do with this rpm?

The rpm file is for the Linux operating system.

prc-tools is hard to install, last time I did it was two years ago...I don't remember much, but if you want to whip out quick little programs, pocketC is THE way to go, it's so essy to make simple programs quickly, I highly recomend it, especially if you're just learning

Thanks for the advice. I'll give PocketC a try.
