This file describes how to build Crosswords for Franklin's eBookman.
|
|
|
|
It should be possible to do eBookman development on either Windows
|
|
(with cygwin) or Linux, but I've only done it on Linux, so that's what
|
|
I'll describe. I expect it's not much different on Windows once
|
|
cygwin's installed.
|
|
|
|
You can get the SDK, and instructions for installing it, here:
|
|
http://download.franklin.com/franklin/ebookman/developer/
|
|
|
|
Once you've defined EBOOKMAN_SDK in your environment, you should be
|
|
good to go.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can build either for the simulator/debugger, or to run on a
|
|
device. For the simulator, type at a commandline in this directory:
|
|
|
|
# make memdebug
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
|
|
Provided you have a copy of BasEnglish2to8.xwd in this directory, you
|
|
can then run Crosswords in the simulator by typing:
|
|
|
|
# ./sGDB
|
|
|
|
The command ./GDB is also available. The difference is that the
|
|
former is much faster and launches you directly into Crosswords, while
|
|
the latter launches the device's App Picker screen, allowing you to
|
|
launch Crosswords the way an end-user would. sGDB is what I use 95%
|
|
of the time.
|
|
|
|
To build a .seb file you can install on a device, type
|
|
|
|
# make xwords4.seb
|
|
|
|
Install this on an eBookman together with at least one dictionary
|
|
(e.g. BasEnglish2to8.seb) and you're good to go.
|

|
|
On debugging: I've never had much luck with the source-level debugger
|
|
in the eBookman SDK. I use XP_DEBUGF statements a lot, and do common
|
|
code development on the Linux port where debugging's better. If you're
|
|
using cygwin on Windows you may have better luck.
