You may need to provide your own m68k-palmos-multilink and you may need to update your PilRC manually. X86 users may be able to use prc-tools-remix, but I haven't tested this, so I don't know if it's sufficient to build the app. The source code for PilRC "3.2.64" and multilink with my local tweaks is here for GPL compliance, but you don't need it if you don't intend to hack on it.) ![]() (This may work with Jag or Panther, but I don't warrant that nor support them. This upgrades PilRC to 3.2.64 and installs multilink with all needed artifacts built for Tiger PPC. Download it (we'll assume it's in ~/Downloads), cd / and do sudo tar xzvf $HOME/Downloads/ to do the upgrade. Next, install the PRC Tools update I provide ( ). ![]() This is a straight build of PRC Tools 2.3 with m68k-palmos-gcc 2.95.3 and arm-palmos-gcc 3.3.1 (though we're building strictly 68K here). This will install the basic compilers and some support utilities to /usr/local and the SDKs for PalmOS 4 and PalmOS 5 to /opt/palmdev. You can read the documentation on the Wayback Machine, but the binaries are long gone, so we host revision 3 on the Gopher server. Although it says you should install Xcode first, you don't have to (you only need it if you intend to use Xcode for development, which we don't). Firefox 3.6, Camino and Classilla all have built-in support for Gopher, as does OmniWeb, or you can add OverbiteFF to TenFourFox. It may also work under Rosetta for Intel users on 10.4-10.6 (sorry, Apple silicon, you'll probably need to do this in QEMU or UTM).Īll Power Mac binaries referenced below are on the Floodgap gopher server. So here's how to do it on your Power Mac and those of you on x86 (or a compatible x86_64 operating system) can install the analogous packages for your platform. I also tested these build instructions on my iMac G4 that doesn't even have Xcode, and it builds out of the box there too. My G5 under Mac OS X Tiger fills this bill: even though it's a 64-bit CPU, it runs 32-bit software without comment. I can't advise you currently on how to build on other platforms, but I will point out that prc-tools is quite old and you really need a 32-bit host (or at least one that can run 32-bit binaries) to make this work. This is really great to see because now the runtime can be updated with more features and for more devices, particularly the wide-screen AlphaSmart dana. Well, Marcio has uploaded the source code for Plua 2.0 itself, which I have patched up to build on my Power Mac G5. By generous permission of Marcio Migueletto de Andrade, its original developer, we already have a 64-bit fixed open source version of the "cross-compiler" plua2c, which we use to build Overbite Palm. In previous articles, I've introduced you to Plua, a PalmOS 3.5 native version of Lua 5.0.3. See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems for steps on how to identify an extension that may be causing the problem.More good news for classic PalmOS development. If the problem began after installing, updating, or reconfiguring your antivirus software, contact the software provider for assistance.įirefox loads extensions when it starts up and many extensions add startup tasks. Some antivirus software may do intensive scans of each of these files during startup and block access until those scans complete.
