Using Visual C++ 6 for Palm OS Dev.
-
Hi, im considering learning about writting apps for the palm os, and i have found tons of info, APIs, etc. but i cant seem to find exacly WHAT do i need to compile this kind of applications. Can VC6 be used for this? or do i need to get (aka BUY) another IDE, compiler, etc.? Thanks!

The best bet is to buy another IDE such as CodeWarrior or look for similiar IDEs in the GNU community. I'm not familiar with the latest Palm OS (past ver 4.1), but the Palm OS is/was based upon the Motorola processor. The apps one writes and places on the Palm are embedded system applications. If you are only writing Conduits (the apps that handle updating the Palm/PC during a HotSync), then VC++ IDE can do the job for you. More info? Johnny

Falch.NET is a better IDE than Code Warrior because it is cheaper, and looks like VC6. Code Warrior is annoying to use, although it may be just that it was unfamiliar. As Michael said, try searching first, there's a whole section here on Palm articles. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder
