+wxWidgets/CE Compilation
+================================
+
+NOTE: to generate targets not in the standard project files,
+you should rebuild the project files using Bakefile.
+Also, if you are building from a CVS version of wxWidgets,
+you need to create eVC++ project files or get them from
+somewhere, such as the daily makefile builds here:

 
 

-wxUSE_POCKETPC_UI
+http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/CVS_Makefiles/

 
 

-  If you are compiling with Windows CE .NET, you may
-  wish to emulate PocketPC behaviour (set it to 1), or
-  take advantage of the greater flexibility of
-  Windows CE .NET (set it to 0).
-  If 0, the PocketPC-specific toolbar class will be
-  used, which uses commandbar to combine the toolbar
-  and menubar in one control. If 1, the normal menubar
-  and toolbar behaviour will be used, as per
-  desktop Windows.
+See technote docs/tech/tn0016.txt for details on using Bakefile,
+and you can get Bakefile from:

 
 

-wxUSE_SMARTPHONE
+http://bakefile.sf.net

 
 

-  Set this to 1 if you wish to compile for the SmartPhone
-  platform (with eVC++ 3).
+Open build/wince/wx.vcw, select an ARM or x86 target (or emulator
+target for eVC++ 4), and compile.

 
 

-wxWindows/CE Compilation
-================================
+Then open samples/minimal/minimal.vcw, select an ARM, x86 or emulator
+target, and compile. You can use the emulator or real hardware to run
+the sample.

 
 

-Open src/msw/wince/wxWindowsCE.vcp, select an
-ARM or x86 target (or emulator target for eVC++ 4),
-and compile.
+There may be long delays while eVC++ computes dependencies, and expect
+to wait a long time for loading and saving workspaces. Do not attempt to
+save the wxWidgets library project file: it will take forever and generate
+a huge file, so make alterations either using Bakefile or by editing the
+project file with a text editor, and reloading. Sample project files are OK
+to save.

 
 

-Then open samples/minimal/minimalCE.vcp, select an
-ARM, x86 or emulator target, and compile. You can
-use the emulator or real hardware to run the
-sample.
+To compile using the emulator on eVC++3:
+
+- Open build/wince/wx.vcw, select the
+  WIN32 (WCE x86) Debug Unicode configuration, close the dialog,
+  then select Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2002 Emulation on the toolbar,
+  and compile.
+
+- Open samples/minimal/minimal.vcw, select the
+  WIN32 (WCE x86 Debug) configuration, and select Pocket PC 2002 and
+  Pocket PC 2002 Emulation as before.
+
+To compile using the emulator on eVC++4:
+
+- Open build/wince/wx.vcw, select the
+  WIN32 (WCE Emulator) Debug configuration, and compile.
+
+- Open samples/minimal/minimal.vcw with eVC++, select the
+  WIN32 (WCE emulator) Debug configuration, and compile.
+
+Note: builds for the different SDKs (Smartphone, PPC, .Net)
+use the same directory and library names, so for the moment
+these builds cannot co-exist simultaneously.
