-  Welcome to wxWindows/CE 2.3.4 (is becoming 2.5.0)
+  Welcome to wxWidgets/CE

   =================================================
 
   =================================================
 

-You have downloaded version 2.3.4 of the WinCE 3.0 port of
-the wxWindows GUI library. This runs on WindowsCE 3.0.
+This is the readme file for the Windows CE port of the wxWidgets GUI library
+which runs on Pocket PC 2002/2003, Smartphone 2002/2003, Windows CE .NET 4.x,
+and Windows Mobile 5. This port requires the use of Microsoft Visual Studio
+2005 and 2008, in particular eVC (Visual C++ Embedded) is not supported any
+longer.

 
 

-More information about the wxWindows project as a whole
-can be found at:
+More information about the wxWidgets project as a whole can be found at:

 
 

-  http://www.wxwindows.org
+  http://www.wxwidgets.org/

 
 

+Information about the Windows CE port in particular can be found in
+the wxWinCE topic in the wxWidgets reference manual.

 
 

-Supported platforms
-===================

 
 

-These are the supported platform at the moment
-- x86 emulator
-- PocketPC (StrongARM)
-
-You can test the library and applications using PocketPC emulator 
-and/or Compaq iPAQ or other PDAs using PocketPC
-
-WindowsCE.NET is not supported.
-
-
-
-Compiler installation
-=====================
+wxWidgets/CE Configuration
+================================

 
 

-Get the Visual C++ embedded (FREE) from Microsoft website
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/device/embedded/download.asp
- 
-You must use Visual Tools 3.0 for CE 3.0 
- (this is the same we are currently using for wxWinCE) 
- 
-Install selecting only the two target platforms used:
-- WCE x86em (PocketPC emulation)
-- WCE ARM (PocketPC StrongARM)
+You may wish to customize the file include/wx/msw/wince/setup.h before building
+wxWinCE to disable any features that your program doesn't need and minimize the
+size of the library.

 
 
 
 

+wxWidgets/CE Compilation
+================================

 
 

-General installation notes
-==========================
+Unless the archive you downloaded already included CE-specific project files,
+you first need to generate them yourself. For this please install bakefile
+(from http://www.bakefile.org/, see technote docs/tech/tn0016.txt for more
+details about it) and create the file build/bakefiles/Bakefiles.local.bkgen
+with the following contents for Visual Studio 2008 (replace 2008 with 2005
+everywhere for the previous version):

 
 

-Alter your WXWIN environment variable to point to the root directory of the
-wxWindows installation.
+<?xml version="1.0" ?>

 
 

-Add wxWindows include and library paths into Tools-Options-Directories
+<bakefile-gen xmlns="http://www.bakefile.org/schema/bakefile-gen">
+    <add-formats>msvs2008prj(arm)</add-formats>
+    <add-flags files="wx.bkl" formats="msvs2008prj(arm)">
+        -o ../msw/wx_vc9arm.sln -DMSVS_PLATFORMS=pocketpc2003 -DCOMPILER_PREFIX=vc9arm
+    </add-flags>
+    <add-flags files="../../samples/*/*" formats="msvs2008prj(arm)">
+        -o $(INPUT_FILE_DIR)/$(INPUT_FILE_BASENAME_NOEXT)_vc9arm.sln -DMSVS_PLATFORMS=pocketpc2003 -DCOMPILER_PREFIX=vc9arm
+    </add-flags>
+</bakefile-gen>

 
 

+Notice that this will create the output files in the directories using "vc9arm"
+prefix instead of the usual "vc" one which allows to build the normal wxMSW and
+wxCE in the same wxWidgets source tree. You're, of course, free, to use
+different names for the project files suffix and the output directories prefix
+if you wish.

 
 

+Then do

 
 

-wxWindows/CE Compilation
-================================
-
-The following sections explain how to compile wxWindows/CE with the 
-Visual C++ embedded compiler.
+cd %WXWIN%\build\bakefiles
+bakefile_gen -f msvs2008prj

 
 

+to create all *vc9arm.vcproj files. After this, simply open the solution file
+in Visual Studio and build it.
