AUTOEXEC.BAT
The final stage for installing the PRC-Tools development kit is to configure
a number of environment variables so the operating system knows where
everything is. In Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows Me, you do this is
inside the AUTOEXEC.BAT batch file. Add the following changes to
this file:
C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
REM ------------
REM #cygnus stuff
REM ------------
SET CYGNUS_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\CYGNUS\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1
SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
SET PATH=%PATH%;%CYGNUS_HOME%\BIN;C:\BIN
REM -----------
REM #palm stuff
REM -----------
SET PRCTOOLS_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\GNUPAL~1\prc-tools\H-I586~1
SET PATH=%PATH%;%PRCTOOLS_HOME%\BIN
You must restart your computer in order for these settings to take
effect.
Desktop
The development environment is your own choice - and there are a lot of
options to choose from (falch.net et al). If you are not interested in an
IDE, and want to opt out for the basic "unix" style installation - then
read on.
Create a shortcut on your desktop that when started, points to your
"development" directory on your machine (ie: C:\Projects).
Double click on the shortcut icon.
Test the following commands:
$ pwd
/Projects
$ gcc --version
egcs-2.91.57
$ m68k-palmos-gcc --version
2.95.2-kgpd
$ ls
$
If you dont get any errors, chances are everything is installed correctly.
Consult the FAQ if
you are unable to get these commands to work.
