Hi. It's me again. Actually, this is a LIFO queue,
so you won't see me first until next, but you get
the idea.

Anyway, so I am not accused of only carping and
whining, I got the hello world app to compile.

Here are the steps.

Install all the RPM's off of the distribution
CD. They are spread all over the place, but are
at least all under the Linux directory.

Install them all. The GCC will not (apparently)
zing your existing GCC installation, it looks like
everything gets put in a seperate /usr/palm
hierarchy.

Next, you will need to patch the bug I mentioned
in my previous (next) post. You will probably
need to do the next step as root.

Remove the file (actually a link):
/usr/palm/bin/m68k-palmos-coff-obj-res

Now, copy over the file:
/usr/palm/m68k-palmos-coff/bin/obj-res in place of
the file you just deleted.

Finally, set your path as follows (bash shell):
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/palm/bin:/usr/palm/m68k-palmos-coff/bin/

Doing this, I seem to be able to make the example.
To install it to your pilot, type:
pilot-xfer -i /dev/tty? hello.prc
(where /dev/tty? s replaced with the com port
special file name where you have attached
your cradle (i.e. /dev/tty0=com1
/dev/tty1=com2..)).

I installed the program on the pilot, and it
works, but has no icon on the screen.

This may not be the "right" fix, but it seems to
work. I am running RedHat Linux 5.1 (Manhattan).

Good luck.
