As mentioned in my PalmSource talk on Friday, a Linux binary build (in RPM format) of the current prc-tools CVS is now available. This is a precursor to the forthcoming release of 2.1. This prerelease fixes many of the small problems in the 2.0 release: * Multiple code resource applications resident in Flash or on Springboard modules no longer crash on exit. * Floating point libraries are no longer broken. * Tools are built with non-shared C++ support, solving the "shared library not found" problems found when trying to run build-prc or obj-res on Linux Mandrake. * Build-prc option handling corrections, including correctly decoding the resource type and id from "subdir/tFRM03e8.bin". * Build-prc can now read files in PRC format. It does *not* include these major intended features of 2.1: * GLibs. (Much of the groundwork is in place.) * Build-prc facilities for shared libraries and hacks and the like. You can download this prerelease via http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/ Be sure to read the release notes. I suggest that people new to prc-tools on Linux use this one rather than the 2.0 release. People who have run into the problems mentioned above will probably want to upgrade. If you are building from source, there is also a source RPM and a tarball of the versions used to build this release, or, as always, the latest versions are available from CVS. John |
