wcecompat: Windows CE Runtime Library "compatibility" library.

LICENSE

This software is licensed under the terms and conditions in the LICENSE file.

ABOUT

This software is derived from the work by Steven Reddie from Essemer Pty Ltd. For contact information, see README_essemer.txt. As Essemer was not continuing this project it has been forked and republished. The new version is supposed to stay compatible with previous versions plus add support for Windows CE 5 and later.

NOTE

This is work in progress and the content might change at any point in time.

REQUIREMENTS

wcecompat requires the following software:

• Perl (to create the makefile configuration)
• Embedded Visual Studio 3/4 or Visual Studio 2005/following
• A Windows CE SDK

BUILDING

• Ensure your environment is setup for crosscompilation for the target Windows CE platform. Refer to the documentation in case you are not sure how to do so.
• Depending on your version of Windows CE, you will have to set some environment variables. These are
  • OSVERSION: A string composed by "WCE" plus the version number ,eg. WCE500 Note that eg. Windows Mobile 5 is based on Windows CE 5.01, so be sure about the proper setting. Otherwise runtime issues might occur.
  • TARGETCPU: The CPU architecture the SDK is designed for (eg. X86, ARMV4I,...)
  • PLATFORM : For Windows CE previous to 5.00 this might be needed, but is deprecated from this version on.
• Call 'perl config.pl' to create the makefile configuration for your setup. In case you do not have perl available, continue reading below to create your own configuration without using perl.
• Call 'nmake'
• After successful compilation you will have "wcecompat.lib" and "wcecompatex.lib" in your lib directory. These libraries are generated statically and are supposed to be linked into your project.

MANUAL MAKEFILE CONFIGURATION

If Perl is not available, following steps are needed to build wcecompat successfully:
