   7 What I've done:
   8
   9 1. This porting will use much files from MSW
  10
  11 2. Large use of #ifdef __WXWINCE__ into common and msw include files
  12
  13 3. As first
  14 - create wxwindows\src\wince
  15 - create wxwindows\include\wx\wince
  16 for files not shared with MSW
  17
  18 4. Then create two eVC projects
  19 - wxBaseCE
  20 - wxWinCE
  21
  22 5. Search #ifdef __WXMSW__ and add the #ifdef __WXWINCE__ case in include files.
  23
  24 6. Start including CPP and H file into these projects and compile
  25 - See errors and solve.
  26
  27 7. To be continued...

  32 New Macro Definitions
  33 ---------------------
  34 This identifies WinCE environment and should not be used
  35 #if !defined(_WIN32_WCE)
  36 #ifdef(_WIN32_WCE)
  37
  38 This identifies wxWinCE environment and can be used
  39 #if !defined (__WXWINCE__)
  40 #ifdef (__WXWINCE__)
  41
  42
  43
  44 New Paths
  45 ---------
  46 \wxWindows\include\wince
  47 \wxWindows\src\wince
  48
  49
  50 Compiler options
  51 ----------------
  52 Add
  53 1. Tools-Option-Directories-Include = ...yourpath...\wx\wxWindows\include
  54 2. Tools-Option-Directories-Libraries = ...yourpath...\wx\wxWindows\lib
  55
  56
  57 Incompatibility stuff & Missing headers
  58 ---------------------------------------
  59 <time.h>
  60 <sys\types.h>
  61 <assert.h>
  62 <signal.h>
  63 strdup becomes _strdup
  64
  65
  66 Always-open Items
  67 -----------------
  68 1. Sometimes chech all __WXMSW__ to see if __WXWINCE__ is propery managed in the #if/else
  69 2. Do not use TABS, use spaces, verify each file modified.
  70 3. Find in files this string "!!!!!" and look if there is some code not completed
  71

  73 NOTES
  74 -----
  75 #. /wince/dummy.cpp is needed for build the precompiled header
  76 #.
