cross-compile to Windows CE

cross-compile to Windows CE

[Brett Wuth]

Hi,

I'm evaluating the possibility of writing Windows CE applications and
device drivers for the StrongARM processor using a gcc cross-compiler.
The host would be Linux.  We don't need UNIX emulation so we would
link against the Windows CE SDK libraries.

Is anyone already doing this?  If not, how much additional work would
be required to set up the needed tool chain?

Thanks in advance for your help,

No, I didn't receive any reply.  But I'm suspecting that it was bad
timing on my part to ask just before Christmas.  Maybe I'll get a
better response with this one.  Does anyone have experience setting up 
a gcc tool chain for cross compiling to Windows CE?

Given your comments about CE for the Hitachi, I wonder about the
quality of the Microsoft tool chain for the StrongARM.  Does anyone
know?  If it's problematic I might decline outright its use in this
project.

Ray, can you send me the URL to the Microsoft "no solution" web page?
It could help justify the time in developing the gcc tool chain.

Thanks,

Cygwin 1.0?

[Kendall Bennett]

Hi Guys,

I am wondering what stuff is different between the Cygwin 1.0 release 
and the latest B20.1 (which is actually rather old) that is available 
for free download? From what I can work out, the license for the 1.0 
CD means the binaries are not freely redistributeable, so they can't 
simply be uploaded to the ftp site? It is supposedly just Cygwin B21 
with extra binaries and stuff, but I can't find Cygwin B21 stuff on 
the net anywhere so far.

Basically I am trying to figure out if I should spring the $79 (is 
the community special offer still going?), or if I can piece together 
the stuff myself by downloading binaries and sources from the net. 

Regards,
