=== Compiling for Palm (er, HP now?) WebOS from Windows ===

First, setup the NDK toolchain stuff:

  * Get a Palm Pre or Pixi and figure out how to activate it, and connect to your local wifi.
  * [[http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1973&Itemid=336|Enable developer mode]]
  * [[http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1970&Itemid=336|Download the PDK]] (I recommend the 32 bit version)
  * [[http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1970&Itemid=336|Download the CodeSourcery toolchain]] (scroll down to get the link)
  * [[http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1977&Itemid=374|http://example.com|External Link]] Make sure the "simple" app works and can be run on your device before continuing.

Now you're ready to compare RTBareBones!

  * Navigate to RTBareBones/WebOS with File Explorer
  * Double click BuildInstallAndRun.bat (or just build.bat if you don't want to package it and have it automatically try to copy it to your phone and run it)

If everything worked, you will hear a sound effect when the compile is finished and the app will be running on your phone.

For other examples, same idea, but keep in mind you'll need to build the media first.  The RT3DApp example isn't setup for WebOS compiles yet.

All in all, I'd say the WebOS NDK platform is probably the easiest out of all of them to get going and work with.

Note:  To quit WebOS apps, you "flick" up on the black finger pad under the screen to make it shrink to "card mode", then flick again to close the app.
