   3   Welcome to wxWidgets/CE 2.5.2
   4   =================================================
   5
   6 You have downloaded version 2.5.2 of the Windows CE port of
   7 the wxWidgets GUI library. This runs on PocketPC 2002,
   8 SmartPhone 2002, and Windows CE .NET 4.x.
   9
  10 More information about the wxWidgets project as a whole
  11 can be found at:

  15 Information about the Windows CE port in particular
  16 can be found here:

  20 Supported platforms
  21 ===================
  22
  23 These are the supported platforms at the moment:
  24
  25 - x86 emulator build in eVC 3 and eVC 4.x
  26 - PocketPC (StrongARM)
  27
  28 You can test the library and applications using PocketPC emulator
  29 and/or Compaq iPAQ or other PDAs using PocketPC
  30
  31 Compiler installation
  32 =====================
  33
  34 Get the Visual C++ embedded (FREE) from Microsoft website
  35  http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/device/embedded/download.asp
  36
  37 You must use Embedded Visual C++ 3.0 or Embedded Visual C++ 4.x.
  38
  39 Install selecting only the two target platforms used:
  40
  41 - WCE x86em (PocketPC emulation)
  42 - WCE ARM (PocketPC StrongARM)
  43
  44 You can install other targets but you will need
  45 to create new configurations for them in the
  46 wxWidgets project files.
  47
  48 wxWidgets/CE Configuration
  49 ================================
  50
  51 You may wish to customize the following file
  52 before compiling wxWinCE:
  53
  54 include/wx/msw/wince/setup.h
  55
  56 wxWidgets/CE Compilation
  57 ================================
  58
  59 NOTE: in lack of workspace and project files for eVC IDE
  60 in source tree of wxWidgets you should build them yourself using Bakefile.
  61 See technote docs/tech/tn0016.txt for details.
  62
  63 Open build/wince/wxWidgetsCE.vcw, select an
  64 ARM or x86 target (or emulator target for eVC++ 4),
  65 and compile.
  66
  67 Then open samples/minimal/minimal.vcw, select an
  68 ARM, x86 or emulator target, and compile. You can
  69 use the emulator or real hardware to run the
  70 sample.
  71
  72 There may be long delays while VC++ computes dependencies, and expect
  73 to wait a long time for loading and saving the workspace.
  74
  75 To compile using the emulator on eVC++3:
  76
  77 - Open build/wince/wxWidgetsCE.vcw, select the
  78   WIN32 (WCE x86) Debug Unicode configuration, close the dialog,
  79   then select Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2002 Emulation on the toolbar,
  80   and compile.
  81
  82 - Open samples/minimal/minimal.vcw, select the
  83   WIN32 (WCE x86 Debug) configuration, select Pocket PC 2002 and
  84   Pocket PC 2002 Emulation as before, and compile.
  85
  86 To compile using the emulator on eVC++4:
  87
  88 - Open build/wince/wxWidgetsCE.vcw, select the
  89   WIN32 (WCE Emulator) Debug Unicode configuration, and compile.
  90
  91 - Open samples/minimal/minimal.vcw with eCV 4.0, select the
  92   WIN32 (WCE emulator) Debug configuration, and compile.
