The prc-tools package is a complete development environment built from the FSF GNU utilities, compiler and debugger with the addition of a few special tools.
There is not much in the way of documentation, but you might want to
look at the
Pilot Software Development web page at
http://www.massena.com/darrin/pilot/.
Download the most recent version of prc-tools from
ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS.
The GNU tools can be retrieved from
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu.
Get binutils-2.7.tar.gz, gcc-2.7.2.2.tar.gz and
gdb-4.16.tar.gz.
The version numbers specified for the GNU tools are correct as of
prc-tools release 0.5.0.
Later releases of prc-tools may require newer versions of
the GNU tools.
Put all of the distribution packages in one directory.
Unpack only the prc-tools distribution.
The prc-tools Makefile will take care of the other packages.
By default, prc-tools will be installed in /usr/local/gnu.
If you want them installed somewhere else, you need to change the
value of INSTALLDIR in Makefile.
The steps are:
tar -xvzf prc-tools.0.5.0.tar.gz
cd prc-tools-0.5.0
(Edit Makefile, if necessary.)
make doeverything
One good reference for general use of prc-tools is the
example directory, particularly the Makefile.
Documentation for PilRC is provided in the file
pilrc1.5/doc/pilrc.htm included as part of prc-tool version
0.5.0.
