Status of WinCE port

Hi all,

I have to port an app that uses SDL from Linux to WinCE. I tried to use the
Arismes port to WinCE, but discovered that it lacks some features, like
working timers. I also saw that lately there was a lot of action in the CVS
relating to WinCE. So my questions are:

What is the status of SDL port to WinCE?

What is working and what is not?

What version of SDL should I use?

Is there a project file for eVC++ 4.0?

Can i use a dll or do i have to link statical (i tried to build Arismes port
as dll but had some troubles)

I am using WinCE 4.10 and eVC++ 4.0 SP4 on ARM. Thank you in advance.

Regards Simon

Hi,

What is the status of SDL port to WinCE?

What is working and what is not?

GAPI and WinDib drivers work perfectly.
It supports old and modern devices. It supports VGA and landscape
mode.

Except that the latest CVS commits several days ago have broken
WinCE support. So now I’m preparing yet another WinCE patch that
fix some final things before release SDL 1.2.9. I suppose it will be
available in a few days.

Now you can use precompiled binaries from CVS, download it here:
https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47
(Look at the attachement)

So feel free to test it and report your comments.

What version of SDL should I use?

1.2.9 CVS version.

Is there a project file for eVC++ 4.0?

Yes. And for VS 2005 too.

Can i use a dll or do i have to link statical (i tried to build Arismes port
as dll but had some troubles)

You can easily compile as dll.–
