We could run gcc fine. The problem was (from memory, this was a while ago) the bespoke tool which bundled up the binary and resource data and signed it to create the installable package. Previously it had been an external binary; but they rewrote it in Java and linked it into the Eclipse binary, and the only hooks were from the Eclipse project build system. The generated makefiles didn't call this because there was nothing to call.

However --- good news! I've just found references from 2012 to a thing called MakePackage.jar, which seems to do exactly what we wanted. There certainly wasn't any such thing while I was working on it, so it looks like they changed their mind later. Which would be great, but we'd abandoned the platform by then.

Here's what seems to be left of the Bada documentation.
