Using CDT for PalmOS Development [message #55857]

Hi all!

My idea is to use Eclipse and CDT as a simple but effective C/C++
development system for PalmOS 4 and 5. I want to use Eclipse because it is
the best IDE on the earth!

I already compiled successfully my first C program using PRC-Tools 2.2
under Cygwin on Windows XP. Now I want to integrate some specific PalmOS
development features into Eclipse. I identified some steps:

1. integrate the PRC-Tools GDB debugger and the POSE (Palm OS Emulator)
into CDT
2. integrate (or build) a simple PilRC resource editor into Eclipse
3. use some C++ open source classes to better manage the complexity of the
PalmOS environment
4. extends the resource editor to manage some simple events
5. integrate the Armlet parts of PRC-Tools

I would be happy if I will be able to complete step 1 and 2. I want to
publish the result as open source and free software.

I need some hints for the first step. Which CDT classes I need to use?
Which classes I need to define? Which documentation (if exists) I need to
look? How to setup a CDT development environment and a test environment?
Have you some suggestions that you think can be useful?

Happy new year!

Massimo Santin

P.S.: the curious about PalmOS development using free software can look

Which version of gdb is it? The implementation of CDT debugger is based on
the version 5.2.1 and uses the MI interface.

The output of "m68k-palmos-gdb --version" command gives:

GNU gdb 5.0

This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=m68k-palmos".

Probably it is too old.

They mention gdb 5.3 on their website. This should work.

I am interested in this as well. How do I get CDT to run the the
m68k-palmos-gdb version of gdb and then attach to the running POSE process.
I.E (target palmos)?
