Another new KB article: Troubleshooting Palm OS Developer Suite 0.1.1 build problems
The problems mentioned in this article have hit a number of people. One of the issues is that the Eclipse CDT (C Development Toolkit) was designed by people that do a lot of Unix development, especially with projects where you download, enter "./configure", and then do everything with the generated Makefile. This system tends to assume a lot about the build environment, such as "there is one make command provided by the system, and it's GNU make or something that acts just like it". It also assumes that all the build tools are in your path and can be easily invoked.
Because PODS 0.1.1 was put together very quickly, we've not yet fixed all of the path-location issues, but getting this working nicely without major PATH modification is something on which we're working for the 1.0 release.
