Tutorial: Palm Pre SDK
The Palm Pre SDK, named Mojo, is not supposed to be available to the general public of developers for a few months. Apparently it was leaked on the internets last night. I was able to get a Hello World program running on the emulator. Here is how I did it.
Environment:
Windows XP
Java JDK 1.6.0_11 (any 1.6 probably works)
Any modern CPU should work. Mine is 32 bit – not sure about 64 bit.
The emulator takes ~300MB of memory so you’ll probably want at least 1GB.I’ve got 2GB
1 – Download and install VirtualBox
(http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). I am using version 2.2.4
2 – Download and install the SDK.
I got mine from mininova( http://www.mininova.org/tor/2719050), linked from PreCentral.net. (Oh god I just linked to mininova)
3 – Start the Emulator.
When the SDK finishes installing you should see a “Palm Emulator” icon on your desktop. Open it.
The emulator should start up and it should look like this:
Linux kernel starting
