CodeWarrior for Palm is a pretty good tool, at least relative to PRC-Tools, but it has some limitations.
- Put RCP files at the top of your first segment. If you don’t, your compiles may fail once since RCP files can build H files that the rest of your project probably uses. Unfortunately, even this doesn’t guarantee success. I generally have my scripts attempt to build a project twice as a result: The first time, I ignore the errors.
Command line compiling
I have found cmdide and ide both to not respond well to command line options to run builds. Ben Combee suggested I give com a try. While I have never used COM or VBS before, I found this pretty easy.
I recommend installing cygwin. GNU make makes this a lot easier, and this is one of the easiest ways to get it. If you don’t install cygwin, you’ll need to build your own PRJ= line.
Two more things before we start:
- If you use PilRC to generate headers, builds will often fail the first time the structure is created. It seems CodeWarrior doesn’t know what order to build things in. If you recreate your directory each time from a source control system nightly, this will be every time the script runes! The only 100% fool proof method I’ve found for working around this problem is to have the makefile run the build twice and discard/ignore errors the first time. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best…
- In my testing, this never worked when Use Default Workspace was on. I’m not sure if this is a bug in the IDE, or a flaw in my script. Since I don’t like this option anyway, I just turned it off.
makefile
First, in the top of my makefile I define two variables:
PRJ = $(shell cygpath -d "$(shell pwd.exe)")CCP = cscript /b "$(PRJ)\cwbuild.vbs"
The first line uses cygwin to set $(PRJ) to the current path. $(CCP) invokes our Visual Basic Script… more on that later.
When I want to compile a project, I use a sequence like this:
morepalmlib:
@$(CCP) "$(PRJ)\projects\morepalmos\morepalm.mcp" Debug >> buildlog.txt
@$(CCP) "$(PRJ)\projects\morepalmos\morepalm.mcp" Release >> buildlog.txt

cwbuild.vbs
Next, the script that ties it all together:
