Build for Windows CE

Hi, I love this project. i'm trying to build it even for a WinCE pc, but without any result. It's possible to do it? Do you have any advice?

I googled really quick and found some hints from Microsoft. Especially no. 8 looks interesting because there are some calls to calloc() in the code. Other than that, n2n's code should not be too specific.

I just wonder if the TAP driver is available for CE.

P. S. I think you might get more responses if you explain the steps you have already taken so far in more detail and where exactly your process gets stuck.

Being honest, I had some problems before arriving to the winCE step: I setted up a virtual machine with Visual Studio 2008 to create some programs for WinCE, successfully. Then:

  • I downloaded your repo
  • I created a Visual Studio 2008 project thru CMake
  • I opened the project with Visual Studio 2008 and tried to build it (for Win32), but get a lot of errors

Is there something that i'm missing? vs2008

Our Building documentation has some hints for building on Windows. But it is not CE specific. I have not heard about anyone having built for CE so far. So, you might be pioneering here!

Have you been successful? Please let us know!

Hi, I tried for weeks to build it without success, I'm not an expert in C, specially in an old version that WinCE requires (C89). I would really like it and it would be very important to do so, because many of the panels I use use WinCE. Maybe it would be an added value for you too, once done. If you are interested in the project and you could give me a hand, I would be very happy. I saw there the are many italians contributors here, if you want to, maybe a directly channel would be easier

Perhaps ntop's Discord server might be an additional channel to find like-minded persons?
