The player source should be compatbile with the original prc-tools package,
but for optimal performance and plugin suppotr you should build a modified 
gcc cross c compiler. You will still need the prc-tools package with it's 
tools and m68k compiler stuff.

1. preparations
---------------

comment: probably it would be easier to build the full prc-tools package in
         the official way with target (arm-tcpmp-palmos) and the patched gcc 3.4.3

first you need to have a working prc-tools 2.3 version with configured Palm OS SDK

in cygwin you need to have installed: 
binutils, gcc, make, bison, byacc, flex, perl

you should set c:/cygwin/bin infront of c:\windows in path
(example to use cygwin's sort.exe)

download prc-tools-2.3, gcc-3.4.3 and binutils-2.14 and extract to /usr/src 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/prc-tools/)
(http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/)
(ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/releases/)

2. patching (IMPORTANT!)
------------------------

use the diff patch found in this directory. these are from the
original prc-tools-2.3 package with gcc modification (R9 not fixed and no PIC option)

cd /usr/src
cat binutils-2.14.palmos.diff | patch -p1
cat gcc-3.4.3.palmos.diff | patch -p1

3. compiling gcc
----------------

mkdir -p /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/arm-tcpmp-palmos
cp -r /usr/arm-palmos /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos
mv /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/arm-palmos /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/arm-tcpmp-palmos
mkdir -p /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/share/prc-tools
cp -r /usr/share/prc-tools/include /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/share/prc-tools/

export PREFIX=/usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos
export TARGET=arm-tcpmp-palmos
cd /usr/src
mkdir build-binutils-palmos build-gcc-palmos

cd /usr/src/build-binutils-palmos
../binutils-2.14/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-nls
make all install

cd /usr/src/build-gcc-palmos
export PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin
../gcc-3.4.3/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-nls \
    --enable-languages=c,c++ --without-headers --with-newlib
make all-gcc install-gcc

4. configure SDK location
-------------------------

copy the Palm OS SDK path information from the original arm-palmos gcc

for linux:
cp /usr/lib/gcc-lib/arm-palmos/specs \
   /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/lib/gcc/arm-tcpmp-palmos

for cygwin:
cp /lib/gcc-lib/arm-palmos/specs \
   /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/lib/gcc/arm-tcpmp-palmos

5. compiling libc
-----------------

additionally you will need a recompiled libc from prc-tools:
use the preconfigured Makefile found in tcpmp's cross-compile/libc-palmos directory

cp tcpmp/cross-compile/libc-palmos/Makefile /usr/src/prc-tools-2.3/libc 
cd /usr/src/prc-tools-2.3/libc
make all install

6. final adjustments
--------------------

add /usr/arm-tcpmp-palmos/bin to the path
