GUI's for PRC Tools
Are there any GUIs for PRC-Tools?
PRC-Tools proper is a command-line tool chain. If you want a GUI IDE, there are several to choose from.All of these include a GUI designer and a colorizing code editor, and they interface to the PRC-Tools tool chain.
- Falch.Net DeveloperStudio for Palm OS is a professional Windows based integrated development environment (IDE) used by more than 30.000 Palm OS developers worldwide. It is available as a Professional Edition ($229) and Personal Edition ($129). (Note: falch.net appears to have gone out of business around November, 2003.)
- VFDIDE Full version of VFDIDE costs $55, with cheaper versions available that have less features.
- PilotMAG $20.
Additionally since PRC-Tools is fairly similar to a normal GNU C/C++ toolchain it is possible to use IDEs not specifically designed for Palm OS. These tools will not provide a GUI designer and you may have to write the build rules (i.e. the makefile) manually they will provide colorizing code editors and complete integration with the PRC-Tools debugger.
- Eclipse is an extensible tools environment with support for C and C++. It is free software published under IBM's Common Public Licence. prc-eclipse is a plugin that integrates Eclipse with PRC-Tools and the on-line help materials provided by PalmSource?.
