This repository contains Homebrew formulae for working with Palm OS devices.
pilot-link is a suite of tools for connecting to Palm OS devices on Unix-like systems. The original website (http://www.pilot-link.org) is now defunct, but you can refer to the man pages (e.g. here) and online resources for help. A good place to start would be the TLDP pilot-link HOWTO.
To install:
$ brew tap jichu4n/palm-os $ brew install pilot-link
prc-tools is a collection of tools supporting C and C++ programming for Palm OS. It supplies a full GCC cross-compilation toolchain for m68k and ARM, as well as Palm OS-specific utilities.
This formula uses the jichu4n/prc-tools-remix codebase, which patches the last prc-tools release to compile and run on modern Linux and macOS.
To install:
$ brew tap jichu4n/palm-os $ brew install prc-tools
The compilation takes about 10-15 minutes, as measured on a 2014 MacBook Pro (Core i5 Haswell).
After install, prc-tools will look for Palm OS SDK files in
/usr/local/opt/prc-tools/palmdev. You can either download and extract the SDK
files yourself, or use the palm-os-sdk formula below.
This formula will install an archive of the Palm OS SDK from jichu4n/palm-os-sdk for use with prc-tools.
To install:
$ brew tap jichu4n/palm-os $ brew install palm-os-sdk
You will then need to run palmdev-prep to let prc-tools know about the SDK
location.
PilRC is a Palm OS resource compiler. It compiles a textual description of Palm OS forms, bitmaps, fonts, and other resources into a binary form that can be included in an application or library.
To install:
$ brew tap jichu4n/palm-os $ brew install pilrc
