> Does anyone have a FREE c/c++ compiler for Palm. > I am a windows boy :-) so OnboardC isn't the way I would like 2 go, i.e. > want to do it from Windows. How amusing to see someone ask the exact same question I did several years ago. Many recommended PRC-Tools and GCC, so after some struggle, I was introduced to Linux & FreeBSD. Now, I run both Linux and FreeBSD, and code using GNU GCC. The only thing that the Unix realm lacks is graphic PilRC editor, so I use PilotMAG to generate the resources, but do rest of coding and compiling on FreeBSD. I will warn you, that the most difficult hurdle will be the switch over to Linux or FreeBSD. The rest of setting up and coding is very, very easy. As a matter of fact, I prefer GCC over CodeWarrior, which is uspposedly the de facto industry standard. p.s. If you're new, you may want to try Linux before FreeBSD. p.p.s. It's possible to have both Windows and Liunx on the same computer, so you don't need to sacrifice anything.
