prc-tools 2.1pre2 Linux binary RPM available

[John M. <joh...@pa...>]

A new Linux build (in RPM format) of the current (2.1pre2) prc-tools
development code in 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:

* All the fixes from the 2.1pre1 release.  See

	http://www.escribe.com/computing/pcpqa/m31038.html

* A new mechanism for handling the "-palmosX" option, which is more
  robust, gives better error messages, and handles "-palmos4" for the
  upcoming Palm OS 4.0 SDK without mucking around in config files.

* Support in m68k-palmos-stubgen for generating assembly language SysLib
  dispatch tables from an export list in the project's definition file.
  (Similar support for GLibs is partially there and is still "coming
  real soon now".)

You can download this prerelease via http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/

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.
