      1 setup VC9 for CE:
      2 ------------------
      3 
      4 - VC9 doesn't have any setup batchfiles that prepare the environment for compiling
      5 with CE. You can take those from eVC4 and adapt them or write your own. This snippet
      6 should get you going:
      7 
      8   rem you need to adapt at least these three
      9   set OSVERSION=WCE500
     10   set PLATFORM=MY_OWN_PLATFORM
     11   set TARGETCPU=MIPSII
     12 
     13   rem the compiler is always cl.exe, different compilers are in different paths
     14   set CC=cl.exe
     15   rem obviously, these need to be adjusted to where you installed VS2008 and the SDKs
     16   set VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
     17   set SDKROOT=C:\Programme\Windows CE Tools
     18 
     19   set PATH=%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\ce\bin\x86_mips;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\bin;%VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\IDE;%PATH%
     20   set PLATFORMROOT=%SDKROOT%\%OSVERSION%\%PLATFORM%
     21 
     22   rem add libs and includes from the SDK
     23   set INCLUDE=%PLATFORMROOT%\include\%TARGETCPU%;%PLATFORMROOT%\MFC\include;%PLATFORMROOT%\ATL\include
     24   set LIB=%PLATFORMROOT%\lib\%TARGETCPU%;%PLATFORMROOT%\MFC\lib\%TARGETCPU%;%PLATFORMROOT%\ATL\lib\%TARGETCPU%
     25 
     26   rem add libs that came with VC9
     27   rem Note: there are more libs and includes under ce\atlmfc, you need to add these
     28   rem instead of the ones in the SDK if you want to use the newer version of ATL/MFC.
     29   set LIB=%LIB%;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\ce\lib\%TARGETCPU%
     30 
     31 
     32 - The snippet below can be used to build STLport for Pocket PC 2003 (using the
     33   Pocket PC 2003 SDK shipped with Visual Studio 2008, this is the SDK used when
     34   compiling programs from within the IDE):
     35 
     36   set OSVERSION=WCE420
     37   set PLATFORM=POCKET PC 2003
     38   set TARGETCPU=ARMV4
     39 
     40   rem the compiler is always cl.exe, different compilers are in different paths
     41   set CC=cl.exe
     42 
     43   rem obviously, these need to be adjusted to where you installed VS2008
     44   set VSINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
     45   set SDKROOT=%VSINSTALLDIR%\SmartDevices\SDK
     46 
     47   set PATH=%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\ce\bin\x86_arm;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\bin;%VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\IDE;%PATH%
     48   set PLATFORMROOT=%SDKROOT%\PocketPC2003
     49 
     50   rem add libs and includes from the SDK
     51   set INCLUDE=%PLATFORMROOT%\include
     52   set LIB=%PLATFORMROOT%\lib\%TARGETCPU%
     53 
     54   rem add libs that came with VC9
     55   set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\ce\atlmfc\include
     56   set LIB=%LIB%;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\ce\lib\%TARGETCPU%;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\ce\atlmfc\lib\%TARGETCPU%
     57 
     58 
     59 You should now be able to run cl.exe for the target you expected.
     60 
     61 - The cross compilers of VC9 are the same version as for the native target, i.e. MSC15.
     62 
     63 - In order for STLport to recognize which target you are compiling for, you need to have
     64 some macros defined, e.g. for the target architecture. The compilers do that partially on
     65 their own, but not sufficiently. Therefore, STLport requires these defines:
     66 
     67  -- These are generally set for CE:
     68   _UNICODE;UNICODE;_WIN32;WIN32;UNDER_CE;WINCE;
     69  -- This one uses an environment variable to set the CE version:
     70   _WIN32_WCE=$(CEVER);
     71  -- These are used to help STLport recognise the target architecture:
     72   $(ARCHFAM);$(_ARCHFAM_);$(INSTRUCTIONSET)
     73  Note that the instructionset is not strictly needed for x86 but definitely for ARM. It
     74  doesn't hurt for x86 though, so I'd always set these in any new project.
     75  -- For release builds:
     76   NDEBUG;
     77  -- For debug builds:
     78   DEBUG;_DEBUG;
     79  -- For debug builds with additional STLport diagnostics:
     80   DEBUG;_DEBUG;_STLP_DEBUG;
     81  -- For MFC applications:
     82   _AFXDLL;
     83 
     84 - Further settings:
     85  Code generation: Multithreaded [Debug] DLL
     86  Language: enable RTTI
     87  Optimization: maximise speed and enable whole program optimization for release builds
     88 
     89 - Linker settings:
     90  Ignore specific libraries: libc.lib;libcd.lib
     91  Commandline: /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWSCE
     92  Optimisation: /LTCG for release builds
     93 
     94 - Resource compiler:
     95  Define: UNDER_CE;WINCE;_WIN32_WCE=$(CEVER)
